tyre recomendations for C class

[p1nny]

Need new shoes for the C class soon. Any recomendations. I have the factory standards on at minute and they are a little "twitchy" in the wet.

Are you looking for winter,summer or all season tyres? What sizes?

I run Conti Sport Contact 3's pretty good in wet

As above, SC3's get a very good write-up for all round performance.

My SC3's were fine till the sidewalls split on 3 of them.

Michelin pilot sport 3's for me now

Interesting to hear. I'll have to keep a close eye on mine then.

Please do , mine split on both the inside and the outside. Well worth a good look if only for your tyre safety. Wasnt obvious on one of them till i took the wheel off.

my car is on the 18" amg rims. guess ill just have to have a gamble with a reasonable make i think. they are down to 4mm now and I can step the back end out far too easily in the wet and traction off the line is poor

Ive got the 18's too. i like the pilot sport 3's

Agree what other have said on both SC3's and Pilot Sports. I moved to Conti from Michelin when prices started getting silly. Both excellent tyres in my view.

Kumho or Falken are a good choice too

 

[p1nny]

Yeh I had Kumho in the past and they were by far best tires ive ever had on a car. lasted 24k cross country miles and gripped like a mountain climber on steroids.

I went for Tires - ZIEX ZE-912 - Falken Tire

Very impressed with them & a lot less that the big names too.

Did you buy them in America?

No, tried that before but they don't fit in the suitcase.

If you are thinking of SC3 then look atbthe SC5, supposed to be better.
