2020 G63 - winter driving
I wanted to ask if anyone has experience issues with the stock tires (and rims) during bad weather.
If so, what types of tires are best (I’m in NY) and do you have to purchase a new set of rims too?
Btw.. any good sites to buy a trunk liner? Don’t think benz makes one..
Thanks

Amazing car but you really want to equip it with the right solution to drive in winters. I personally prefer separate winter and summer tires sets over all year ones. I m not totally sure about MY20 but the 22” rims on mine came with 295/40 summer tires - not good for bad weather.
if you have the same summer set as stock you could::
- swap out the stock 295/40 for 275/40 r22 Pirelli winter scorpion winter tires like I did (also suggested in this forum s threads) . The tire will be marginally stretched (~1%) but the solution is fine. Also Pirelli scorpion is a quite good one. Maybe also Continental offers a similar tire
- buy a separate set of wheels (from Mercedes or 3rd party) with smaller rims (eg 19 or 20”) and buy winter tires for that size. On 19” or 20” you have many more tires models to choose from.

I think it makes sense to just get a dedicated winter setup. U want your ride to be bulletproof. I think it’s a kick in the pants if you got a wicked ride that can’t hold up to the elements like it’s supposed to.
My winter setup: Michelin Alpins on 20” wheels.
