GLC43 with 21 inch wheels - winter tire/wheel package options?

I have a leased GLC43 in the Northeast; it has the 21 inch wheels and summer tires.

What are options for getting this car (safely) through the winter, other than parking it? I don't think there are many options for winter or all season tires in 255/40-21 and 285/35-21, correct? Also not sure if that's what I would want for a winter tire given the low profile?

Since it's a lease it's not worth investing in genuine MB winter wheel and tire packages, I think they are $$$$ (say the 20" with all season or winters).

Has anybody put winter wheel/tire packages from places like Tirerack? If so what would look good on the car? 19" wheels? Any suggestions of the look?


Thanks!

These were the only 21” winter tires in factory sizes I could locate via the tire rack...

Many more options and aesthetically you wont see much difference unless you get
a weird offset.
Call Tire Rack and ask for Luke.
Good dude
