GLC43 AMG
Wheel & Tire Setup
Hi all. Haven't been on this site since i traded in my beloved '08" C63 AMG for a Jaguar F-Type R almost 10 years ago. Anyway, I just purchased an extremely low mileage 2018 GLC 43 AMG Coupe as a DD. Love the car. I bought it with 22" Brabus wheels with LionHart tires. The set-up is really nice to look at but in these NY streets...ughhh! The tires are 265/35/22 and every pothole is felt. Looking for a bit of advice before I go purchase another set of wheels. Do you think purchasing a better or different tire could make a little difference in the ride quality? Any advice or feedback from any knowledgable guys would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

What's your tire pressure?
Try running at 3psi under the gas flap setting for your car, and see if that is more acceptable.
Good luck.

35 is not a lot of sidewall and you will feel it, making for an uncomfortable ride.
I wanted a "beefier" look on my wife's 2018 GLC300. I kept to original wheel size at 19", but I went a bid wider to be able to mount a wider tire on it.

The GLC looks awesome (in my opinion) and with the Michelin tires rides as it should.
