GLC43 new tires question
Just bought a 2018 GLC43 with the 21" wheels, which I like, with the Continental summer tires which I don't. Looking for all season tires to replace them with, which don't seem to come in the stock sizes. I have found them in the stock sizes that come on the GLC63 with 21" wheels. Is there any reason these sizes would not work on the GLC43?
GLC63 21" stock tire sizes
front: 265/40R21
rear: 295/35R21
Thanks.

Stock sizes from GLC63
295/35R21
265/40R21
Had them on for about 3000 miles now and couldn't be happier. No rubbing, No crabbing.

Just picked up a GLC 43 today. We actually purchased it on Monday, but had the 265 / 295 staggered Pirelli all seasons installed prior to driving home today. There's no way summer tires would work in the Kansas City area right now. Only 25 miles driven so far, but no evidence of rubbing or any other fitment issues.

The only problem I see with these is the weight. They look like a nice tire except for the added weight. Per Enkei every pound of weight in a tire is equal to 20 pounds in the vehicle
Michelin -- Front 29 Rear 31
Pirelli ----- Front 31 Rear 33
Atturo ---- Front 34 Rear 36.5

~ I think I'm going to opt for the DWS Conti All-Season tires in the glc63 size when needed. I run these on my other cars and love them! I've had 4 sets over the years. Great tires!

I have a question, why does the glc43c3 call for truck/suv tires when dimensionally , it very close to the CLS. Wheel base within a inch, weight about a 100 pounds difference, etc, why not use car tires?

Yeah, gravity sucks. The S class weighs 1500 more yet it doesn't use truck tires either. So I don't think its a weight issue, tirerack shows the same tire for S class as glc43c4 but in 20's rather than 21's, I believe I'll try finding a street tire in 21's and see what happens.
