Snow Tires Recommendations for 2020 G63
Hi everyone, i love my G63 however the tires are slippery in the snow. Any recommendations on snow tires that maintain the look , fit the current wheels and not crazy expensive?
Or wheel packages?
Thank you

Vredstein from Tire Rack. I don’t know what size wheels you have, I have 22 inch wheels.

Are you looking for tires to change out seasonally, or tires that you can run year round?

285/40/R22 factory size 295/40/22 using my factory wheels, swapping tires. Yes, they will fit on the factory wheels. No one makes a 295/40/22 winter tire.

i really appreciate the advice. How have they worked out for you so far? Have you driven with them in the snow at all?

A second set of wheels is a good investment. Reduces risk of wheel damage from changing tires twice each year and makes possible flipping sets yourself.

that’s what my other concern was, all of the switching could create damage to the wheelS. Any idea on what another set would cost? I have the 22 inch set
?

Grab a set of knock offs from eBay. About $1,000-$1,400 depending on the style you get. There are several Brabus knock offs available in that price range.

Do you actually run with these? I’m curious whether there are any issues with the taller 45 profile over standard 40 on the stock 22” wheels. Here in MN snow tires definitely make a difference. Thus, two sets of wheels and/or tires is a must.

I’m running 285/40/R22 winter tires on my factory wheels. I’ll switch back to summer tires in the spring.

Looks great...thanks for sharing! Not sure where you live, but I wish MN would allow studded snow tires.

Do the 285 45 22 snow tires affect the calibration of the speedometer?

Any tire size that's different from your OE size will induce some amount of speedo error. Go to tiresize dot com and enter your OE tire and the tire size you plan to install. The % difference in circumferences (or diameters) is the same as the speedo error you'll have. I think the speedo can be re-programmed with a dealer's SDS if you're willing to pay. I changed to a 275/55R20 from the OE 275/50R20 and have a 3% error that isn't a problem for me.
