Hey everyone - proud new owner of a 2021 GLE53 optioned with the 22” wheels and Michelin Pilot Sport 4S’s. Wheels/tires look fantastic, but realize the tires won’t work too well when winter rolls around here in Missouri. Curious what others are running as their winter wheel/tire set up. I’d prefer to keep the wheels on year round and just change the tires, but looks like limited all season tire options and extremely pricey when paired with 22” wheels. May have to spring for a smaller (20”) winter wheel/tire package. Thoughts?

20s with true Winter tires is best for performance if you can afford another set of wheels (take-offs?) and have room to store them. In addition to tire selection, 22s are too wide to work well in inclement conditions. Swapping tires twice a year is also a hassle and expense. There are several Winter tire threads from the past couple years you can find if you search.

I run these 20’s from Tire Rack on my GLE 53…there are a lot of tire choices in the 20” size. It’s a little more investment to do tires & wheels but with two sets they will last longer. I’m not certain this will take you to the wheel or maybe just my search. They are MSW type 30 @$255….8 1/2” X 20” et 45. They are black with McKinsey face…look a lot like the factory in 21”. I have the larger brakes and they clear.

The link didn’t work so I’ll add a pic tomorrow.

I added Mercedes center caps so they look stock.

Here they are last winter with my Michelin PA 5 SUV Winters.
