2019 C63S Coupe
I just had the Pirelli Sottozero 3 installed this week. The fronts are good and rears are about half.
I called Tire Rack and 2 MB dealership to see about obtaining new rear tires and both said these Pirelli sottozero 3 rears tires are finished for this year.
It's just a personal decision. For me I did not want the look of those 19" MB rims on my car for the 4-5 month winter period.
Some of the MB dealerdhip have Tire Specialist who can advise and also have in stock winter tires that Tire Rack states are not available.

I live in NYC area also and drive 2019 C63s coupe with the black 19/20" tim setup. I did not like at all the look/design of the optional 19" rims for winter. So personally just made the seasonal tire swap on my original rims.

They stored these tires at the Dealership until the end of November.
I had no issues with these winter tires on 19/20 rims but did not drive in 12"+ of snow.
I just took a number of photos (below) to show ( installed this week) Pirelli Sottozero 3 with Front: 255/35/19 and Rear: 285/30/20. Note: the rears don't seem available this season.
