Baby G

I just thought it would be easier to start a new thread and post all of our questions, remarks, and comments in one new thread. In my older thread, I only had two choices of tires, but on further review I like the Pirelli Scorpion Ice & Snow Tires as well.

Old Post: https://mbworld.org/forums/glk-class...zak-dm-z3.html

I am at the moment discussing with him cash only deals, which most of us can figure out what it saves (you can PM if not sure). Here are the three Tires I like, and prices include TAXES (13% in Canada).

17" Packages will have 235/60-17 tire size, and your choice of wheel. 18" Packages will have 235/55-17 tire size.

17" Inch Package - Wheels and tires will be installed and balanced.
1. Bridgestone Blizzak WS60+ MB52 Rim - Package Price 1450
2. Pirelli Scorpion Ice & Snow + MB52 Rim - Package Price 1500

Tirerack Prices:
1. Bridgestone Blizzak WS60 + shipping + duty + taxes + Brokerage + Provincial fee + = 724.46 US approximately: $800 for tires
2. Pirelli Scorpion Ice & Snow + shipping + duty + taxes + Brokerage + Provincial fee + = 894.29 US approximately: $984 for tires

18" Package - Wheels and tires will be installed and balanced.
1. Bridgestone Blizzak DM-V1 + MB52 Rim - Package - 1730
2. Bridgestone Blizzak DM-Z3 + MB52 Rim - Package - 1680
3. Pirelli Scorpion Ice & Snow + MB52 Rim - Package Price 1800


Tirerack Prices:
1. Bridgestone Blizzak DM-V1 + shipping + duty + taxes + Brokerage + Provincial fee + = 824.91 US approximately: $908 for tires
2. Bridgestone Blizzak DM-Z3 + shipping + duty + taxes + Brokerage + Provincial fee + = 763.02 US approximately: $840 for tires
3. Pirelli Scorpion Ice & Snow + shipping + duty + taxes + Brokerage + Provincial fee + = 904.89 US approximately: $995.50 for tires

The MB52 Wheel option is just one of many choices available. For more choices please visit: http://www.replicawheelscanada.com/ and choose mercedes fitment: Have a look and let me know if you like me to get prices for you. I choose these since, for winter tires the less the spokes, the better they are in general view.

Once again these prices are just what I got, I would like to see how much interest is out there, so I can neg a better price. If you are out of town and like the prices or anything I can buy them for you and ship them (you pay shipping, can paypal me the money), just to help fellow members out. If anyone else is out there, who can get better pricing, please let me know, can use that as leverage to get better price, or I don't mind ordering from you. At the end the goal is to save $$$, get a good rim and tire package for all.

You are the man Baby G! I'll post some feedback later...

zelko

One thing I forgot to add quickly. The place where I went on Saturday, apparently they received a very good deal on certified MB AMG rims for $239 each (17"). These are actual MB rims and not knock-offs...

Baby G

What's there condition? Used or new? Any pics?

zelko

Brand new, they are procuring the rims from the MB Mississauga location...no pics yet. He was supposed to have them on Saturday, but they didn't ship to the shop on time. They should have them this week. I'll see if I can have him take some pics for me.

glkowner

For entertainment value I present a scan of the quote I was given....

$4,177.79 CDN

the quote shows no line item for labour/installation.

fishsriz

you are crazy if your going to pay $4100 for wheels and tires

mr.mbenz

here's a quote from one of the MB Dealers...

The set of 4 mounted and balanced is on sale for $4,222.67 inclusive
of taxes (tire pressure sensors are extra if your vehicle is equipped with
one).

That must be a lot of 'rubbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbber'

zelko

Ok folks, let's keep these discussions to some sane pricing only please

zelko

The pricing I received is also for the WS60 Blizzak's and is pretty much on par to the price you have received with the knock-off MB rims. I didn't even bother to ask about the Pirelli's as I thought they would be significanly more. But looking at the deal you are getting, seems like a good buy to me.

I am still waiting to get more details on the MB 17" AMG's...

Desmo

Why are they charging $600 for wheel sensors, I thought the Canadian models used the ABS system to monitor the tire pressure and hence have no sensors?

uwo93

we are interested in the 17" package. we are in Oakville.

why did you choose the Pirellis over the Blizzaks? the Buffalo guy said the Blizzaks are better.

what is the offset for the GLK 17's?

e430

Wheel offset for OEM 17" from MB is 1.87in (47.5mm)

Baby G

In doing research in the 17's you only have two choices. Please go to tirerack and have a quick peek. Mercedes also tests and recommends the Pirelli's. I can't post the chart here, but if you were to go, I believe the Pirelli's # 1 in the online survey.

http://www.tirerack.com/tires/survey...p?type=W&VT=LT


Now its a matter of personal choice, personally I like cornering stabily, noise and ride comfort are important, and to lose slight performance in snow its okay. But just my two cents. The offset is 47.5

Baby G

Folks,

can we get a list started to see how much interest is there for this:

1. Baby G
2. Pez - WS-60
3. Footmark - Pirelli

Please add your name, or you can PM me, and I will add your name. Just want to get an idea who's in? So far its two of us...

footmark

I got some numbers from my local tires shop today. It seem Baby-G got a better deal.

17" Winter Tires 235/60R17: ($5.84 government recycle fee)
Bridgestone Blizzak WS60 @ $188 + 5.84 (188+5.84) x 4 x 1.13 = $876.16
Pirelli Winter Carving Edge @ $198 + 5.84 (198+5.84) x 4 x 1.13 = $921.36

17" Wheels:
17" Silver Color @ $140 140 x 4 x 1.13 = $632.80
17" Silver Color w/black line @ $145 145 x 4 x 1.13 = $655.40

So, a set of WS60 + wheels = $1509, and there is no cash deal saving. You know what I mean.


18" Winter Tires 235/55R18:
Bridgestone Blizzak DM-V1 @ $225 + 5.84 (225+5.84) x 4 x 1.13 = $1043.40
Pirelli Winter Carving Edge @ $212 + 5.84 (212+5.84) x 4 x 1.13 = $984.64
Michelin Latitude X-Ice @ $238 + 5.84 (238+5.84) x 4 x 1.13 = $1102.16
18" Wheels Silver Color @ $165 165 x 4 x 1.13 = $645.80

Baby G

Thanks footmark

Folks we have three people now in. Thanks.

tor-glk

If a group buy is setup I would be interested also

I live in the GTA

fishsriz

I might be in.. Baby G.. im going to call my guy today for winters....

Baby G

Folks, these are the best prices he can do on the 17".. I just spoke with him he is running a little low on the rims, so for the current prices who is in?

zelko

I'm going to go with my guy and the AMG MB rims, because of this I am out (now I am sounding like one of the Sharks..LOL)

I have tire and rim protection for my GLK, so if I go with MB licensed products I'll be covered for both my summer and winter shoes and rims

Baby G

No Worries at all, best of luck. Post some pics eh, when you get a chance.

rdef1

I've also go the tire/rim protection, any chance of you being able to share details about your deal? If not, I'm definitely interested in Baby G's arrangement.

Duke_on

I would be interested in this as well. I wonder what kind of deal we can get for a group buy.

Baby G

Folks the prices are the best he can do, since it includes taxes, wheels are balanced, and installed.

I am ordering my set tomorrow since he is running low on MB52, but he might have another rim option which might be slightly cheaper. Will fill you guys in, once I came back. I am planning on going with the 17", and the WS60's.
