G63 Winter Tires in NJ
So all my performance cars, I have a dedicated set of winters no questions.
My gwagon came with summer performance tires. I wouldn't mind getting some winter tires but I have not found any good rims for the Gwagon without looking too out of place.
So would you guys roll around with summer tires in the winter in such a big car or definitely no way? My reasoning is since it's a gwagon, it surely can't be horrible during winter time?

Related but un - I have a set of replica amg wheels in black (20") with blizzaks sitting in Vermont if you want them. Ill sell them for any fair offer. Paid $2200, willing to take a fraction. Limited miles on them since I only owned my G for a single winter sadly. (but im in a GLE63 now!)

Sorry for the delay. I frequent the GLE forum most these days. Here's a few
First day mounted
First day in the snow
Nothing can stop this set up

After last years winter the tires were unmounted and resting in my garage in Vermont. Used onee winter. Fancy a drive up to Vermont and get rid of them for me please. Asking just $150 a wheel (complete with tire mounted with TPMS) You likely need a set of $40 bolts for mounting (M14 x 1.50 pitch bolt around 1 inch long. (14 X 20 X 1.5 mm))
285 / 50 R20 blizzaks mounted on Black rims with Benz caps.
One season, few miles - depth is same as new.
Washed for storage

that is a good looking package. It's just soo far lol.
Tire rack doesn't sell the OEM winter tire size. What's a recommended winter size for the g63 stock wheels?

I used to see 18"s for winters and mudding. Small wheel, more rubber. I have really only seen people running 20"s with specific rubber over the last bunch of years.
G wagon with s winter specific rubber on 20" or below and you are unstoppable.

They will work well. Enjoy.
I am loving the gle. It rides smooth and corners hard. For my drives back and fourth to VT, it is the perfect beast and still struggle to find a comparision. Sure the X5M but it is not as sturdy or snow worthy in my opinion. If I did not spend winter in VT i'd probably be in the M tho

Ernest - I really would like to but since I am hardly there and its rural I have no shipping options. If you decide to take a drive, you can have them for $100 a wheel tho!

If you need winter tires or mount and road force balance, give us a ring!

G63 - Summers
I just had my first experience in snow with my week old G63 - what a machine! I learned Winter Tires are a MUST and now I am in the process of looking for the winter wheels. I hear Pirelli Ice and Snow or Blizzaks are great. If someone can confirm that would be awesome! or recommend different ones (all season or winter only and brand) and should I put them on separate rims or replace the current ones? Much appreciated.

I recommend Blizzaks. Had them on my rover, g wagon and now a GLE63. Always get me to there even in the times I wish I wasnt driving in a storm.
