My 2020 G63 is running the OEM 22" Y-spoke AMG wheels. They are wrapped in the factory Perrelli Sport 295/40 R22 112W tires.
I tried TireRack and the Benz part dept but cant find a winter or even all-season tire for these OEM 22 Y-spoke AMG wheels.
I'm curious if, 1) you guys know of a manufacture that offers a tire for these 22" wheels; 2) if they need to be the same 295/40 R22 size; or if they need to have the 112W rating?
Am I better off just buying a winter wheel and tire set? (probably >$5K min)
Your better off to get a set of 20” or 21” wheels. I bought blizzard dm-v2 for the 20” rims. Will change out. You won’t get good snow tires for 22”. People sell their 20” stock rims and make them a dedicated winter set.
Given the cost of the second set of OEM wheels/tires Ive started looking at aftermarket options. Ive discovered there are little to no options for the G wagon given the bolt pattern, load rating and finding a winter tire that fits.
I have the factory 22" Y-spoke AMG wheels. They came with a factory 295/40 R22. My local shop has found a replica wheel that looks identical and meets to load rating etc. That said, they are slightly different width. They run a 285/40 R22 winter tire, which to my understanding, means they are slightly less wide and larger in overall dimension. (I think its 7/10th of inch larger in dimension to the 295/40 R22 summers).
Question: will this 285/40 R22 winter tire set up throw anything off or potentially damage anything? I plan on keeping the truck for a while and only want to do this once. Don't want to find out Ive messed up a suspension or transmission component or something at the 3-4yr mark.
