I'd say it all depends on your locale..... if you in the "yukon" I'd do dedicated rims/tires with some Nokia's or Hakka's..... if youre so-cal or boston likely a snowflake rated all season will suffice.. if you're in Vermont or telluride I'd opt for the dedicated setup....
to me a wider stance via spacers or custom offset rims would be nice to have for a dedicated setup - given the optimal likely use of a tall narrow tire over stock size....
it's obviously a heavy vehicle and that will help to an extent - lockers are only going to assist once stuck....

Thanks for giving me your insight and expertise with the G63 winter tire options. I live in Long Island , NY and we receive on average 30 inches of snow annually with a couple of big storms every year with 20 inches in one event. We are skiers so the Adirondacks of NYS & the Green Mts of Vermont we often visit. This is my wife's car so I am trying to give her the best overall tire. I just replaced the Yoko advan st summer tire on Thursday for the pirelli scorpion Zero ALL season which is only good for light snow. I originally requested from the dealer Pirelli Scorpion ATR all terrain tire but they said they could not get?? I thought the ATR would be a better tire than the Zero. Do you think I should get the Nokians or blizzaks and just put them on my existing rims. If $$$ was not an issue I would probably just get a 2nd set of rims and put a dedicated winter tire on them and install every December---march..
Do you run your G on the beach at all?
Thanks Yukon

Hey Johnny
I saw your pics of your old G and newer GLE NICE RIDES.I just bought my wife a CPO 2016 G63 and just learning about the vehicle. Car came with Yoko Advan summer tire and just bought Pirelli Scorp. ZERO ALL SEASON tires and wondering if I did the right thing for this G??? We live in Long Island , NY with about 30 inches of snow annually and do ski trips to Adirondacks & Vermont . Any input you can give this NEWBIE would be greatly APPRECIATED!!!
THANKS YUKON!!!

Hey Johnny
When are u getting your new 2020 G63?? I came very close to buying a 2019 G550 but dealer was not up front with the pricing so I was patient and found a very nice 2016 g63 with only 520 miles!!! I know the new G has great ride characteristics I compared the 2 models and I like the wider stance and a lot more leg room in rear. How did your 2013 G hold up?? Was it reliable and how does it compare with your Range Rover?? We also considered a RR but was concerned about the build quality!
Thanks YUKON
