having owned a gl550 with these continental tires already, how did you find their performance in various winter conditions (ice, slight dusting snow, moderate to heavy snow) ?

I've always found them to be competent on snow.

Did MB change the backup camera for GLS? The current camera is practically useless in dark. Surprisingly, 2015 ML350 backup camera works very well in dark.

I can tell you it works "much better" than our 2014 GL. I could barely see anything when backing out of our garage at night. But the backup view in the GLS is pretty good so they definitely addressed this issue.

Anyone know what size screws/bolts these license plate things take ?

When my dealer tried to move my MB frame to the GLS, the screws were too short. Whatever they changed on the holder, it takes a much longer screw now.

Thanks joe. Not only that it looks like the front takes a different size than the rear

Yes, the rear Parktronic is much too quiet, and is not changeable.

The dealer can fix that for you. A very common problem discussed in another forum.
