Stupid tire question ( sizing )
Hi all,
When I bought my 2015 ( non AMG ) sedan, I swapped out the wheels for the AMG version. They came with non run flat tires. It’s time to replace the tires and I want to go to run flats. When I go to Tire Rack, the dimensions of the AMG tires ( they don’t sell run flats for the AMG version ) are different than the non AMG run flat tires.
AMG:
Front: 255/40ZR20
Rear: 285/35ZR20
Non AMG run flats:
Front: 245/40R20
Rear:275/35R20
Can I run the non AMG run flats on the AMG rims?
I know that the ride may be a little harsher and a bit noisier, I’m ok with that.
As always, thank you all in advance!

Why do you want to get run-flats? In my opinion, they truly suck. Ride quality of non run-flats is much better! Pickup a set of Michelin P4S tires and thank me later.

Yes, you can use those tires sizes on the AMG wheels, 10mm will not make a difference. Your speedo will be slightly different.
If you do change your mind on the run flats, I recommend the P4S as well, much better than the stock tire.

‘The non-AMG version doesn’t not come with any provision for a spare tire. With the crappy roads of Los Angeles and the fact that I never drive the car “ spirited “ I’d rather be safe than sorry at this point in the game. Thank you for your suggestion!
