2017 S63 AMG Cabriolet

Hi all
Couple questions. I’m purchasing a 2017 S63 AMG Cabriolet. I live in Wisconsin and plan on driving this year round. Are there all weather tires available for this or am I going to have to purchase new wheels in order to have all season tires?

Next question, will the soft top hold up well to regular car washes? I plan on getting a “Freaky Clean” car wash package so I can wash it often to keep her beautiful. Wasn’t sure if frequent washing at a car wash would harm the soft top.

Thanks so much

There are snow tires that fit the factory 20” rims but better if you get a set of 4 19” 8.5 “ wide AMG rims for the winter. Soft top holds perfectly fine for car washes and no leaks. Drove my 2017 edition 130 Cabriolet as a daily driver for 80K miles in NE Ohio winters before upgrading to a 2019 S65 Cab.

S63 AMG Cabrio
Had a MY16 S63 convertible for 3 years, always drove around with regular tires (Michelin PS4S), that are great all year around, when you don't have too much snow (certainly when it is 7 degrees Celcius or more winter tires are not needed, even worse in grip, wear, etc than regular tires, that some people for commercial reasons still like to call "summer" tires ).

Had it for about 3 years, so had >100 car washes, no sign of wear on the roof. If you tend to drive the car longer, you might consider a special soft top coating (did that on another convertible that I drove for > 10 years).
