In case anyone needs the information, Tirerack confirmed that TPMS sensors for an x253 are not compatible with the x254. They're both 433mhz, but different part numbers. That is why our new GLC wasn't seeing the TPMS sensors for the winter tire/wheel combo we used on our old GLC. Thanks to Mercedes for changing both the offsets and TPMS from one model to the next!.

It does, but going to narrower tires in the back plus whatever the offset change has done to the alignment is a win. I managed to get 96.8 miles on electric on a 164.1 mile run tonight. Using the MB app's figure of 6.8 mi/kWh for the combined average (aside is that I hate how they present the numbers), that works out to an actual average while on electric of 4.012 mi/kWh.
Pure EV mode mi/kWh is still terrible in the winter due to the resistive heater, but in hybrid mode...that's amazing. Beats the best 79ish miles I would get on the same run on the stock wheels/tires.

Hi, they are on the car now so I can't read the tech info. The dealers up here use these 19" diameter rims for their winter tire package under part number (including tires and sensors) of TATL6032416
