Those GLC43 wheels are my favorite design. Wish they’d throw them on the 63. Only optioned for the 43

Man, can't wait for mine (although not a coupe).

Those 21s are sick. But tough to find winter rubbers for. What are you doing for winter set up?

Installed the winter wheels and tires today. When going to get The MB jack was surprised to find tire sealant / 12-volt compressor with a car that has temporary spare tire. The summer tires were fun to drive on the icy streets here.

Thanks, this basically confirm what my SA said. 21" with Performance tires cars comes with spare tire. But 20" Run Flats don't.

Interesting that it comes with sealant and 12V pump as well.

Are those 19 square or staggered? Looks like square set up.

Yeah...went to a square setup for winters. Toyo Observe G3-ice studded tires 235/55R19 105H and RTX GRAZ Wheels #082615 19 x 8.5 (5-112 bolt pattern, 35mm offset, 66.6 center bore). The 12v pump and sealant were a surprise with a spare tire.

Hi there.

Congratulations. Mine arrives in about 4 weeks. Just curious. I thought all of these came with run flat tires, without a spare.

The one nice thing that stands out so far is how nice the ride is on the frozen pot holed roads here. This is the wife's car so won't get much of a chance to drive it.

Thx! I believe that all the Canadian cars get temporary spare tires including the GLC with 20" tires. The USA cars come with different setup's and option configurations.

Was it also smooth on the Summer 21's? I am really hoping for a better ride over my C43 on it's 19's with low profiles. That is my #1 complaint.

I only drove the car from the dealership to one of my warehouses to install the winter setup so really can't say driving it such a short distance. (6kms) Sorry!

Hey @RickSo , have you noticed any jerky shifts between 1st and 2nd gear in Comfort mode, like some owners of the 63 are reporting?

I haven't really noticed any unusual feeling shifts from the transmission but also not driving that hard during break-in period.
