C43 Coupe Winter Tires
Hi Folks,
I was hoping to get some advice on winter tires. I am far from being a tire specialist so you'll have to bare with my lack of knowledge.
The Mercedes spec winter rims and tires that come on the C43 Coupe are as follows:
7.5x18 ET33 Front
7.5x18 ET44 Back
There is a well known Rim and Tire shop in my area that is selling the following:
8x18 ET35 Front & Back
They have apparently been putting these on C450's for winter since last year. At this point, I have no reason to doubt them but I thought I would do my due diligence.
Does anyone know if a 8x18 ET35 would work fine on the C43 Coupe? Assuming I don't utilize any spacers, etc. Thoughts?
Thank you!

I just ordered 2 PIRELLI WINTER SOTTOZERO 3 XL and 2 255/35R-19 PIRELLI WINTER SOTTOZERO 3 XL for my stock 19" AMG wheels coming on the Coup. Non-run flats. Going to throw these on the stock wheels (well, have the dealership do it upon arrival) and then get new wheels in the Spring for the summer tires.
Never used them personally but I've read decent reviews of them, believe they are a pretty common choice.
