Pirelli’s usually suck. The pzeros melted on the track on my 911 so I replaced them with Michelin PS4S.. day and night difference. I have tires and wheels warranty for g63 and so far claimed 5 times but would love to replace them with something better

It's annoying that you have at least 8 choices for alloy wheels, but most dealers have no idea what tires will be on a vehicle when it arrives. I pulled the Pirelli SZs off the G at 1K miles. Couldn't even give them away for the cost of shipping, so they're now on my LX that's a summer drive only. I should get 12K out of them, and then I'll mount a set of Michelin LTX Defenders.

LTX Defenders are one of Michelin's biggest sellers - production volume = low price. I had these mounted on my Lexus GX and LX, and the treadwear is not exagerated. I put a set on my old Wrangler just a couple months ago. They're OK in snow while there's still 50%+ tread, but the M/S version isn't 3PSF rated - not sure about the LTX A/T version. 305/40R22 fit 22" wheels but I can't comment about clearance.

OEM Pirelli's should go straight in the garbage. I have had great luck with the Goodyear F1 Eagle that the car was initially launched with.

Stick with a size close to OE. You're the only one who's gonna notice an extra half inch of rubber hanging out beyond the fender flares, and you can't see how cool this looks while you're driving anyway.
