Winter set up...again
Guys, anyone of you running winter tires on your stock 21" wheels ? I found Pirelli and Continental are making tires in this dimension but not sure how the car will perform on the snow with that set up..
Was quoted around 5 300USD for AMG 20" and 4900USD for 19".
Thinking about staying on stock 21" with winter tires..
thx

I tried to drop to 19" wheels from my stock 21" - for cost reasons.
If you drop to 19" wheels and thicker tires as well as losing the staggering you can put wheels and all-season tires on for the cost of just snow tires on your 21" staggered rims.
I put some fairly nice OZ wheels (19x9) with taller tires to maintain my circumference so not to affect my speedometer. Now I can actually rotate tires for longevity. This winter setup with everything cost me about $1700
