I'm midwest... need all seasons on this for 3/4 of the year and I want new wheels so I can easily/quickly swap and rotate myself.

Also... anyone know if the GLC 43 and 63 wheels could be swapped back and forth - does the offset change? What is the GLC63 offset/width?

so I had the 20” wheels and picked up a set of 21” and wrapped with summer tires. I’m switching my 20” over to winter tires. Live in Chicago. If you want all season for your 21” I have a basically new set I’ll sell cheap. My personal opinion is run winter in winter and summer in summer. PM if you’re interested in the tires.

I have an 2018 GLC43 and I have winter tires with TPMS - you will not see the tire pressure without them (they do not work from the ABS Sensors). I change my own tires summer to winter (and winter to summer) and never need to reset anything.

Has anybody used Continental Viking 7 winter tires?
How good are they? Thread wear and noize?

Ok here is the setup that I just got for my 2019 GLC63 S Coupe:

Wheels 19 inch - Fast R197 black gloss
Tires 255/50R19- Continental Viking contact 7

Surprising the winter tires are quieter than my summer Michelin X4.
I will report on the performance once there is snow on the ground.

20” OEM winter tires UPSIZE

As I’m now looking to purchase winter tires for the stock 20” staggered 43 I’m running into a dilemma. My personal preference is for Michelin tires. It looks like my only option is the Alpin 5 upsized to the 63 dimensions. Can anyone give an opinion on if that’s OK to do or not?
