G55 Snow Tires/All-Season Tires
Looking for info on what snow tires/All-Season Tires to run on G55. Truck came w/ 285/55/18 Yoko AVS S/T Performance Truck Tires. No one makes snow tires in the same size and the standard G500 tire (265/60/18) is too skinny for the 9.5" wide AMG wheel on the G55.
Any ideas...I may just purchase the Michelin Pilot LTX All-Season tire in 285/55/18 all call it good. Hopefully this tire will ride a little nicer than the Yoko AVS S/T's.
Does anyone have a wheel/tire set that will fit for sale?

285's for snow on that vehicle is suicide! I have the older AMG wheels with 275 tires for non-snow months. Believe me when I say, the best you can do is sacrifice the agressive look for the safety of a 245/75- 16 mounted on the older G wheels 16 x 7.5. Then you can move in the snow/ice with confidence and not worry about plowing into that guy in front of you with a 5,000 + pound vehicle! I got my wheels at Europa in Sante fe.

I agree..
Do you have contact info for Europa in Sante Fe? I am curious if 16" will fit over the G55 brakes? I would love to go to 16".
Let me know...
