2021 AMG GLS 63 Standard 21 inch Tires

The MBUSA configurator lists the 21 inch standard all season tire sizes for the 2021 GLS63 as 275/50 R21 front and 315/45R21 rear. That is the perfect size for me and I would like to know who makes it. I cannot find a listing. I assume they are MO spec. Does anyone know the manufacturer and tire details?

Looks like tires are Continental (huge sidewall). Do not know if anyone carries them at present.

Thanks for the reply but my question is about the 2021 GLS63 not the GLS580 and I specified the tire size which is different than what you are quoting. It may be too early to get info. off the internet web sites that sell tires. I already looked up the tire size for the new 2021 GLS63 as 275/50 R21 front and 315/45R21 rear on Tire Rack, Michelin, Continental, Pirrelli and Yokahama web sites and was hoping for someone with precise knowledge on what All Season tire MB is putting on. I am interested in an ALL SEASON tire in an MO spec that is a bit taller than the 21 inch that is currently on the GLS580.

Did you try your dealer then? That's where I've started in the past when looking for winter tires.

Yes I saw that one on auto trader too and it is not an all season tire because it is a Continental 6 which are summer only tires. Maybe the MB website is wrong and it should be listed as a summer only tire?

Yes the dealer here in Canada was asked and they only have winter or summer tires. I need All season. I have the 22 inch in Continental 6 summer only and no tires available in All season. I am now shopping for 21 inch in the MO spec and the 275/45R21 front and 315/40R21 are the only All Season MO spec but they are 1/2 inch shorter which make my speedo even more inaccurate and more costly fuel consumption etc. at higher RPM. The 275/50R21 - 315/45R21 combo is nearly the same height as the 22 inch Conti 6. I am sticking with MO spec.

Yes I would think 63 uses only summer tires (actually was surprised to see 5.5" high sidewall on 21" supplied for 63, would think that only 22" or 23" be ordered).

It appears that when 21" wheels are supplied on 580 (and 450), the tires are A/S with 1/2" shorter sidewall - same sizes as on GLE with 21". Probably the only explanation is there aren't any A/S.
