Winter driving

Do people who live in locations with snow, drive them in the winter?? Do you change to winter tires? What is your winter driving experience. Hate to dirty up the car!!

Yes, I ordered winter tires from my dealership. My other vehicle is a GT3. The G comes with summer tires and can’t be used in snow, it’s dangerous! They’re going to store my tires since I purchased them from the dealership. My G 63 is on the Silver Ray now.

I intend to use it for winter snow driving. Also why I ordered the 21in wheels that come with all-season tires (vs summer tires on the 22in) for our G63.

better check with your dealership, they all come with summer tires, doesn’t matter what size wheels you ordered.

i am running nitto terra grappler tires for both summer and winter. they are not actual winter tires but they are good enough for light winter duty. if it snows a lot where you live, you might want to consider a dedicated winter set up.

I will be taking delivery of mine with snow tires. The dealer will fit a set of Blizzak tires for about $1200 all in.

even Tire Rack calls them all season tires, they aren’t all season tires. Be careful if you plan to use it in the snow and ice.

I second this. Try a panic stop with all season tire vs. snow tires. Huge difference.

Understood, thank you for the heads up. Have the 21in wheels been coming with Pirelli Scorpion Verdes?

Disregard: TireRack says the Pirelli Scorpion Zero Asimmetrico is OEM

You can check with Tire Rack, my understanding is they all come with summer tires. Tire Rack had them improperly listed as all season tires until I pointed it out to them. I already ordered my winter tires and they’re at the dealership. Winter tires can be in short supply if you wait until winter.

Those are summer tires, not all season. Same tires are coming on mine, except in 22”.

Call Perelli, they’re not an all season tire. I called Perelli and ordered winter tires.

As an FYI, they’re not M+S for 22inch BUT are M+S for 21inch. TireRack states that in the product description.

Hope you’re right, I only checked on the 22” wheels, but looked at some 21” wheels and tires on EBay that had the same tires as the 22” wheels. Call Perelli to verify, they know more than a salesman at Tire Rack.

You’re welcome, post what you find from Perelli. I had better luck choosing the option for being a tire dealer, they didn’t answer on the consumer option.

I also have 22" cross spoke wheels with oem Pirelli summer tires. As cold weather approaching, I'm shopping for new set of winter tires. Which winter tires did you order?

...I think there are no "all season" tyres available on the market in 22", only summer or winter..., ...but i wouldn't swap tyres so often on my 22" rims, better a complete set rims+tyres for winter..., ...or chains in the trunk..., ...but it depends on the road conditions in your area...
