Here at SimpleTire, our team has gone through the catalog and picked out some of the best Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG tires, including all-season, summer, and UHP tires. We then used our SimpleScore system to assign a numerical value for the categories of traction, handling, and longevity for each tire. Ready? Let’s go in for a closer look:
1. Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 Plus - Best UHP All-Season tire
When Continental designed the ExtremeContact DWS06 Plus, they wanted a tire that would present no tradeoffs in performance vs traction, ride quality, and noise levels – a tire that can offer year-round grip with the overall handling, cornering, braking, and steering response you’d expect from a UHP tire. That’s all, of course, along with the kind of tenacious, reliable grip that will get you through all kinds of weather conditions. The Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 Plus is an even better value when you remember that most UHP and summer use a softer, stickier tread formulation that will stiffen up and lose traction below 40-45 degrees, which is when they have to be swapped for all-season tires. Continental built on the success of the ExtremeContact DWS06 and updated it in just about every area, starting with the Sport+ Tech package that delivers enthusiastic cornering ability and responsiveness. Reinforced 2-ply sidewalls and macroblocks in the tread give a driver handling that’s immediate and confident for an outstanding SimpleScore of 9.9 in that category. For year-round grip, there’s an advanced silica-enriched tread compound for long wear and great wet-weather traction. In rainy or light wintry conditions, circumferential grooves, sweeping lateral grooves, and X-sipes give the ExtremeContact DWS06 Plus an edge in grip for a traction score of 9.8. Continental covers the ExtremeContact DWS06 Plus with a 60,000 mile limited manufacturer tread life warranty (unlike most UHP tires), for a SimpleScore of 9.2 in the longevity department.
2. Pirelli P Zero Corsa Asimmetrico - Best Performance tire
Here’s a tire that’s designed with the ultimate sporting performance in mind: the P Zero Corsa Asimmetrico from Pirelli. Pirelli designed the P Zero Corsa Asimmetrico around the power, torque, and handling of exotic sports cars and performance cars, drawing heavily on their experience in the world of autosports. Handling and traction with this tire both get top scores of 9.9 in our SimpleScore rankings. The P Zero Corsa Asimmetrico features a semi-slick tread surface with a low void ratio, a minimum number of grooves, a large external shoulder structure, and an advanced tread formulation for phenomenal cornering ability and responsiveness. That sticky tread formulation also means excellent mechanical adhesion to the road, even on rough or irregular pavement surfaces. Internally, the Pirelli P Zero Corsa Asimmetrico is designed with a polyester casing and two flexible but tough steel belts held together with a nylon cap layer; even though it’s not covered by a factory treadwear warranty, we give the P Zero Asimmetrico a SimpleScore of 8.3 for longevity.
3. Bridgestone Potenza Sport - Best UHP tire
Our first pick for this list is the Bridgestone Potenza Sport. The Potenza Sport is designed as an ultra-high-performance (UHP) tire that delivers the best of both worlds: dependable traction and a quiet, refined ride along with an exhilarating, confident driving experience on wet or dry pavement. The Potenza Sport starts with a sticky silica-rich tread formulation that offers great mechanical grip on the pavement, with a performance-oriented tread pattern that’s designed to put the most rubber possible in contact with the road. Four wide circumferential grooves evacuate water from the contact patch to boost wet–weather performance and avoid hydroplaning. A network of 3D sipes enhances tread stiffness for great cornering response and wet-weather traction, and a tuned tread pattern keeps road noise to a minimum by canceling certain resonances and frequencies. By our calculations, that comes out to a SimpleScore of 9.9 for handling and 9.9 for traction. The Potenza Sport does lose some points when it comes to longevity, with a SimpleScore of 7.3. The Potenza Sport doesn’t come with a mileage warranty (most UHP tires don’t), and isn’t suitable for winter conditions: the softer, stickier tread formulation will stiffen up and lose traction in colder weather. Like all UHP and summer tires, the Potenza Sport shouldn’t be used if temperatures are below 40-45 degrees F.
While these are the best Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG tires on the market, there are plenty of other tires to consider.
4. Falken Azenis FK460 A/S - Great UHP All-Season tire
For some time now our team at SimpleTire has been pretty impressed with just about everything in the Falken line, and the Azenis FK460 A/S is no exception. The Falken Azenis FK460 A/S is designed for long wear and consistent grip in all kinds of weather with Falken’s advanced 4D Nano tread compound. While most tires lose traction as tread depth wears down, the innovative Emerging Grooves tech of the Azenis FK460 A/S is designed to open the grooves up and expand for extended performance even on worn tires. The circumferential grooves with chamfered edges and Canyon Groove design work as a system for the reliable grip you need in wet or wintry conditions for a traction score of 8.6. Durability is a real plus with this tire too – thanks in part to the wear-resistant properties of that 4D Nano tread compound, Falken covers the Azenis FK460 A/S with a 50,000 mile warranty. Our team calculates a SimpleScore of 9.1 for longevity. Steering response, cornering, road manners, and braking performance are all precise and predictable with this tire, for a SimpleScore of 8.8 for handling. We should also mention here that the Azenis FK460 A/S is designed for a ride that is quiet and composed on the highway, with a minimum of road noise thanks to grooves that are acoustically tuned to cut wind noise and cancel certain frequencies.
5. Yokohama ADVAN Sport AS+ - Good UHP All-Season tire
Let’s close out this list with a tire that’s a great balance of year-round traction with breathtaking performance, the ADVAN Sport AS+ from Yokohama. The Yokohama ADVAN Sport AS+ is covered by a 55,000 mile warranty and features a high-turnup sidewall, long-wearing silica-rich tread compound, and durable internal construction for a SimpleScore of 9.1 for longevity. Extra-large outboard shoulder blocks and 2-in-1 intermediate blocks all help deliver cornering and steering responses that are accurate and immediate, registering a SimpleScore of 8.7 for handling. In wet or dry conditions, the ADVAN Sport AS+ is dependable and tenacious with circumferential grooves, lateral grooves, Z-shaped grooves, and Yokohama’s innovative Wavy Sipes, all working together to resist hydroplaning on wet pavement and provide mechanical grip and adhesion on dry roads for a traction score of 8.8. All in all, the Yokohama ADVAN Sport AS+ would be an excellent choice for your Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG or a variety of sporty coupes, sedans, and crossovers.
