Advice needed for my CLK BS

Hi all, so I have the CLK 63 Black series, currently with the standard tyres that come with the car 265/30 & 285/30 R 19 Pirelli P Zero Corsa, and they are completely worn off (Call me a newb but I have a black series), I am not sure if I should get the same tiers to replace or what is the best option with this car?

I appreciate your help

The Pirelli P Zero Corsa are competitors to Michelin PS2 Cups and Toyo R88 basically street legal compound slicks.

The Pirelli's last longer than the Michelins because its more street orientated design with frequent track attempts, your best bet is the Toyo R888 which is more affordable.

Better as a daily driver, I have never tried it but its the same tyre they use on the 430 Scuderia. If I was going to recommend a tyre it would be the Michelin PS2, I've got it on my car and it grips nicely with the Quafie Limited Slip Differential.

I wont use anything other than the stock corsas...best tire for the car IMHO cold weather aside. That said, there is a back order on them now...so order up.

I would highly suggest sticking with the stock corsa's in the stock sizes... The tires are great, wear pretty well and are relatively quiet. Hope this helps

Corsa's are your best bet for the CLK Black. They are a great tire and hold up to track abuse really well.

PS Cups don't come in our sizes.
