that's a mistake imo. sorry, rev me. tough news
They seem to be enough for the C63 507 (which is a heavier car with more horsepower than the W205). And that car has destroyed everything it has come up against.

0-60 in 3.8 and the 1/4 mile in 12.2. I don't think those numbers were achieved via lack of traction.

Guys, this is a little bit of an overreaction.

The W204 C63 507 (with 507 horsepower) has 255s and nobody has been complaining about that.

And even psychologically, if you're more comfortable with 265s, I don't think there's an easier thing to do than swap out the tires.
