GLS 580 23 AMG wheel question
Im a member of other AMG forum sections, but have a question here to try and help out a friend. Short version: They just took delivery of a 2012 GLS 580 with the 23 wheels. They look superb, but have max summer tires on them. No all-season tires will fit them, as far as I know. Do you guys think a viable solution would be an even trade with someone who has 21-22 wheels? That might be easier than trying to sell and then buy other wheels. Any other ideas?

On another note, I suspect that Pirelli will come out with an all season tire for the rear eventually (hopefully before next winter). They just released the all season tire for the front GLS 23 wheel in the last few months. I keep checking here.
