Blizzaks on Super Dakar Winter Set up on GLE63suv

Hello GLE owners.

I just ordered this set up for my GLE63 for the soon to be north east winter in NYC and Vermont:

20"x10" Superturismo Dakars
275x40 Blizzaks

Total $3100 from tire rack.

Full review will come in December once I get to test it on the icy hills of VT's back roads which are always brutal.

Nice, I'm leaning towards the BRIDGESTONE Blizzak DM-V2 as well, with the TOYO Observe GSi-5 as a close second.

Did you get your OZ rims in black paint, matte graphite silver, or bright silver paint?
To help us visualise it on Tire Rack's website tool, what colour is your GLE?

I run the DM-2 on those wheels as wheel. Great setup.

Well, I should say I did, as I switched them to everyday wheels I liked them so much. OEM's are now winter wheels.

Hey guys, new shoes are on the gle63. They drive nice. Less responsive than my summer slicks, but straight as an arrow and I can still corner hard. Also - I am very happy with the look. Already I get me head nods of appreciation that the stock - despite them costing $10k more for a set.

All in all - OZ are dope. Here's a set of photos. Ill get full car soon.

Do you already have that much snow and winter weather? I'm still in shorts and riding around with the top open. Haha Still a good looking car.

We have a small bit of snow and ice on the ground here in Vermont. Nothing to allow me to give a review on the performance just yet. Awaiting a snow and ice storm for that.

On hard pack snow, it is easy to spin the wheels by giving it too much gas. But what do you expect fro 500+ HP. Of course I could flip on the "snow mode" and drive with caution, but where is the fun in that?

I trust bizzaks. I had them on my Rover Sport, my G wagon, and now the GLE.

If you saw my hill here, you would be impressed I have never been stuck (fingers crossed for the season ahead!).

Blizzaks is great, price well also. Never got stuck with Blizzaks with AWD.
