Do 3 season or all season tire exist for for the 23” rims? Or is it better to just have another set of rims?

I guess it would depend on where you live and if you get any significant snow/freeze. Looking at Tirerack, only the Pirelli Summers are available for the OEM size.

I have looked into this issue extensively and probably the most out of anyone in this forum. The short answer is that there is no tire manufacturer anywhere in the world that has a commercially available all season or winter tire for the stock 23” wheels. When I first submitted my order for a custom GLS580 with 23” wheels in August 2020 there were no all season or winter tires for any of the stock 23” wheel tire sizes. As of a month or two ago, Pirelli introduced all season tires for the stock 23” front wheels but still not for the really wide rear 23” wheels. But I believe there is a good chance (50/50) that by next season there will be a set of all season tires available.

Just get a second set of 22” wheels and winter tires. No all seasons fit. The snows make the 63 unstoppable.
