honestly, who knows how long I’ll run them, I have the stock 22” this is my wife’s car and wanted a 20” winter tire. We had this same set up on a different car and winter is crazy here in Utah, these wheels were unstoppable in the snow.

Looking good! Colorado here: I just put on 20” wheels with Blizzaks on my G63 and had no issues in white out conditions up in the mountains this weekend. How do those run in snow?
**This may be for its own thread but: For anyone with a heated windshield, what the F*** is the deal with this thing! You have to blast the MAX Defroster to activate it?
Totally defeats the purpose of a heated windshield if I have to sweat in order to use it. We really needed it in tough conditions this weekend and it was extremely uncomfortable to use.

Another takeaway from being in extreme snow is that the windshield wipers caked up easily. I had to pull over at one point to clean them off and then they were (mostly) good for the next two hours. Anyone know of suitable replacements for heavy weather?
Those are really the only two nitpick items I have lol

Crazy that we need to have workarounds on this. I honestly love this car, but the heated windshield should either be on 24x7 or have its own button.

There were already a dozen windshield wiper attachment mechanisms when MB introduced its proprietary design that's on the W463A. When I looked into alternatives about 2 years ago, nothing from Bosch, Michelin or RainX was a direct fit. These other brands come with a handful of plastic adapters to fit J-hook, pin-style and tab lock adapters, and you end up with a big plastic knuckle that's likely to collect snow and ice anyway. A replacement set (2) of MB OEM blades from AutohausAZ runs about $42. In defense of MB's design, its attachment mechanism is minimal, has a simple slide-lock that requires only about 20 seconds to change the blade, and the blade is a beam design that sheds snow more readily than other types. I stopped by one of the major auto stores a week ago, and the Bosch, Michelin and RainX premium blades were $35-$40 EACH! So all things considered, the OEM blade is fine with me.
But what I find annoying is none of these blades allow for replacement of only the rubber blade. The complete wiper blade gets thrown away when 90% of it is still usable if the rubber blade could be swapped out.
