19 inch wheels
Anyone get the 19 inch wheels and regret it? I ordered an 18 inch wheel GLC but it won’t be ready for another 3 months.

I have the 19" wheels on mine. I recently drove a loaner with 18" wheels. I prefer the drive quality of the 19" wheels.

I have 18" they are fine, if you want to better handling, you should probably get 20". I don't think 18"vs19" will make any difference.

Agree. Used to have 20” on previous GLC 300. Not for this type of car as they come with max summer tires that have no traction at lower temp (even no snow and ice on the road).
This was the reason to order 19” this time with all season tires - another benefit is smoother ride….

Many folks don't realize that winter/all-season tires are rated more for temperature than for traction that would help on snow/ice. As you said, summer tires on a 30-32F road w/no snow or ice on the ground won't have the grip necessary for safe operation!

Tirerack suggests operating summer tires only above 40°F:

I’m in Florida so the 20” summer tires are good. I wouldn’t try them on the snow.
