GLK was my neighbors-- I drive a 3.0 CRD in Jeep's clothing
winter wheels and tires
Sorry about that--My neighbor in Colorado was fit to be tied. She couldn't find anything here outside of Denver (8500 ft elev.) or in Denver---other than the dealer quoting $2,500.00 for tires and a couple of month wait.
She is thrilled to be having them dellivered in 3 days.
I have no connection with anyone, just trying to help and if anyone can benifit -great if not--don't read it.

I have had couple of PM's asking if the packages were available and they still are. Just wanted to let everyone know the MB52 are sold out. You have the new rim available with any choice on the tires...
The following rim is the only choice. The package size is 235/60 R17 only. Here is the package on footmarks GLK, which he posted, which some of you may have missed.

GLK 350 Winter Tire Dilemma
Hi All, I have noticed a discrepancy between the offset here for the GLK350 and the rims in the package being offered by tirerack.com. I would like to buy but I am hesitant in case their specification is wrong and have to go through the cost and hassle of a return. The rims they promote have an offset of 35mm, not 47.5 as stated here. Can comeone confirm? Alternately, I am happy to buy in Ontario if I can get a good price, but finding it difficult. If someone can refer me to where you bought in the GTA, it would be most appreciated.

Finally had the winters put on this past week. Sorry for the night time shots, will post some daytime pics soon.
I went with the Blizzak's in the 235-60-17 configuration.
I've had them on for a couple of days and only notice some noise from the tires when I take a corner a little hard, otherwise, so far so good...

Bonus: the MB centre caps fit the Sport Edition ST3's perfectly. Looks like a set of OEM wheels.
And the summer set in storage:

Bought them from a local Auto Parts Supplier on a local car-enthusiast's forum Group-Buy thru the Tire Rack.
The total cost was $1,387.31 CDN ALL-IN. (delivery, $us exchange, mounted, balanced, hubcentric rings, wheel bolts, duty and all taxes included).
So far no snow but it's coming sooner or later.
