Has anyone found a good winter tire for their EQS SUV? The OEM all seasons are terrible in the snow

All seasons are usually poor in snow, especially for stopping and turning. All weather tires with a snowflake symbol are better and dedicated winter tires are best. Check here and note the mobile installation option.

With which brand/model tires is your EQS SUV equipped?

They are staggered Pirelli Scorpion Verde all Season. 274/45-21 front, 285/45 rear

Thanks.
The issue I am having is everyone claims there is no winter tire available for the EQS SUV.

Serhan

Why? What is your tire / wheel size? Tirerack shows winter tires in stock in above link:

My GLB35 came with 21" wheels with Conti 6 summer tires last year and there was no A/S or winters available in stock a year ago. So I ended up getting new 20" wheels with Michelin Alpin 5 winter tires... Of course we are having mild winters so far, but winter tires are still good for icy conditions in the mornings...

Tire Rack said they had winter tires but not for the EQS SUV. Don't know if it has to do with weight or what.
My sizes are: 274/45-21 front, 285/45 -21 rear

Vredestein Wintrac Pro and Pirelli Scorpion Winters are available at those sizes... They are both XL weight rated. Also you can go down to 20" as well, see in below video as MB was providing EQS SUV test vehicles with 20" All Terrain Coopers:


Have you checked with MB?

I did talk with Mercedes and was told there is no winter tire available yet. They told me to ensure the tire has a EV rating.
Today I will check out local tire stores and see if I can find a set of Pirelli Scorpion winters.
Thanks for all your assistance!

How odd for them to say...scroll down for winter once the link opens the page.

EDIT....the link doesn't seem to hold to get to the page, but the search on their own website allows you to select EQS SUV, find tires, and filter for winter tires. Try it!

Thanks! I was able to order the staggered Pirelli Winters from Discount tire.

Serhan

That is good!
I think it is the same story with each new model release... I ended up with Michelin PS AS 4 T0 Tesla OEM tires from ebay for 21" wheels. Sb in California switched to summer tires most probably. If Tesla didn't choose those tires, I wouldn't have any AS's for 21"... I was telling to the MB service tech, he showed me a brand new GLE or GLS with 23" wheels and he said there is nothing available for that either...

Also I was talking MB online help for other warranty issues and asked about MO1 tires. She told me to contact Michelin customer service for tires... That is how much knowledge they have...
