Replaced my GLC63 with 18 G63

For those of you who don't frequent that section I had a GLC63 for a month. It spent most of my ownership in the shop with all sorts of problems. Electrical, rattles, steering, etc...MB bought it back from me and I picked up what I was after in the first place, a 2018 G63.

I completed the transaction last night, and first thing this AM I slapped some Nitto Ridge Grapplers in 285/50/20 sizes on the factory wheels.

Stock photo when I picked it up last night.

Too bad about the GLC, but congrats on the new G. I like how the tires transform the look. Do you plan on using it off road?

Congrats! I just picked my 2018 63 a few weeks ago and love it. Digging that red, it really pops.

Are the Nitto's all-season? Do you plan on keeping them on year round? Any issues? They look great.

They’re a hybrid AT/MT type tire. Had them on my Raptor before this. They’re awesome for daily duty and will be on year round for me.

I’m surprised how many people buy these highly capable off-roaders just drive them on the road 100% of the time.

Thank you for the reply. How do they drive on the highway? What is the speed rating? Any issues at higher speeds (assuming you have tried them out)?

Congratulations on your purchase. It looks great in that color. Don't see many like it. May you enjoy many miles and smiles on and off road. Happy motoring.

Awesome, I think you'll thoroughly enjoy the Nittos. My car drives just like factory with the benefit of the beefier tire and better ride.

Waiting on some 31mm spacers to show up now to get the stance properly dialed.

Nice shots!

The tires go really well with it. How’s the ride difference between old and new tires? Is it harsher ?

Amazing! nice to see you on this forum too Jesse. Nothing like the G63, R8, and AP combo. Post some shots together! Gratz again! Did you get the GLC alongside the X4 or did the X4 replace GLC so to speak?
