245/45R20 Michelin MXV4s Fit OK on '10 GLK350 4Matic
Purchased from TireRack UTQG: 620 A A, Price: $254.00 (each)
I mounted only 1 on the stock 20" rim to check fitment before mounting the remaining three. Clearance at the top of the tire with the strut is substantial. Clearance at the back of the tire with the strut is about 1/4" but is OK. I am really glad to have these Michelins to replace the 235/45R20 Dunlop and Bridgestones that have been marginal, particularly on treadwear.

The Dunlop & Bridgestone have not been given good feedback here for the reasons mentioned. When I upgraded to 20" wheels, I went with the Pirelli Scorpion & so far have been very happy with them. Price of $176.00 ea. presently. My only concern with the tyre of your choice is the difference of approximately 1/2" in diameter when compared to the OEM 20". Does the higher rating (620) give it a stiffer ride?

MXV4 Michelins
Have 19" wheels w/ MXV4's. Had dealer mount them when I took delivery of my 2013 GLK 350. Great ride and almost no wear @ 17,000 miles.
