I have 22s with summer tires and 20s with winter tires. I love the look of the 22s but the comfort from the extra sidewalls on the 20s is very noticeable.

I didn't finish my comment. If you need to get winter wheels, consider getting the 20s as it's a nice change, especially since you are coming from an S-class. I just swapped back to summer tires a few weeks ago.

I like my Tuxmat all weather mats and did an emblem swap to make them look like OEM. For the cargo tray, I would get the OEM one. I have weathertech and it's not as durable, the Tuxmat one is too slippery.

Like that color a lot.
I have 21" staggered wheels. For your setup, are the tires 275/50/20 all the way around?

I had 20" all around on my 2020 GLE 450.

It's really not enough tire, even for the six cylinder. They would break traction when trying to insert into a gap in traffic and run wide. Not an aggressive maneuver, just "moving smartly."

However, I bought that 450 as a CPO with only 8,000 mi on it, and I think it was likely a press car that lived its life under full throttle runs. It had scads of problems and they took it back.

Still, I think a 5,000+ lb car needs more tire than 20" tires.

Good point. I'm definitely a less aggressive driver with my 20s and the handling is different than my 22s.

I agree. The GLE 53 is a fine vehicle but I prefer the more understated look and sound of my 580.

I personally prefer the 580 (or 450) drive-train over the 53. But I like the steering, the tighter sports-seats and the suspension tuning of the 53.

I don’t like the highly stressed engines of either the 53 or the 63, when it comes to longevity. If I were leasing, that’s of course not a factor.

Heck, in Illinois they will pull you over and ticket you for factory tint.
