WInter Tires
So, I tried looking through the forum but can't find any current info on what Winter Tires are good for the 20" rims on the AMG E 63 S wagon ( that are currently available )

I've had 20's on other cars on past with snow tires and they work great! ( rover, Porcsche Macan S , et) .. I would rather stay on 20's if possible,

for me, conti winter tires would be my pick, then Nokian. The others ... not really worth, esp. Pirelli.
btw, I have conti 850P (19") now.

I went with Pirelli Sottozero 3
- 255/35/20
- 285/30/20
Pirellis get a bad review because of the 2’s, but the 3’s have a more aggressive tread pattern. My tuner and I agreed this is the way to go. I live where it’s winter like 6 months of the year lol and this is my daily, so I’ll let you know if it’s a thumbs up or down!

I have a set of winter Pirelli in the same size from my previous gtr and thought to use them on stock AMG's wheels )

Nice, now I don't have doubts and will use stock rims with those Pirellis. Thank you!

On the smaller ( 255 vs 265) can you tell any difference in the drive and/or performance .. I think that is about 1/2" narrower than stock?

I personally can’t tell any difference. I punched it a few times yesterday (I know I shouldn’t as it’s still 15C over here but I can’t help it lol). The Pirelli is a better performance tire over the others IMO. I know I was made fun of by some troll on this in the past. It is winter after all.

No. That tire does not come in 20”. It’s classified as “all weather” tire, meaning, 1 step up above all season and/or 1 step below dedicated winter tire. For our car, I recommend to get dedicated winter to get optimal traction
Your option of tires for 20” have already been mentioned from above.
