What size winter tires should I run on my C300 4M Sport?
The weather is starting to get bad and it's time for me to purchase a set of winter tires. I have a 2016 C300 4Matic Sport and I currently only have 18" AMG rims that came with the car. I think the car is currently running a staggered setup with the rears being bigger than the fronts.
Would you recommend me to downsize to 17" and purchase another set of rims and/or steelies? Stay at 18" and use same rims? Stay 18" but get new rims?
Should I still run a staggered setup for winters?
Thanks.

If you're not going to moving to warmer climes permanently any time soon, I'd advise getting a set of 17" or 18" rims and putting nice winter rubber on them.If your winters are really harsh, 17" square all round.Else 18" would do. Going square or staggered would depend on the conditions where you are.

Depends on what you like and what you want to spend. I'm in the south east of the UK. Snow is not really common down here. It's something we see on TV or hear about on the radio. It we get it, my car stays parked and I catch the train, tube or bus. Having written all of that, please check the C43AMG and this forum. There are plenty of threads on winter gear.
