Sorry to bother people again about winter tires. My e63s 2019 is arriving in november, its leased so i dont want to buy other rims. Are the nokian r2 255/35R20 97R XL gonna fit on my original 20’ rims?

thanks a lot!

Any suggestions for the original 20’ rims? My dealer in Montreal told me the only 20’ winter tires they are allowed to sale for the e63s, are poorly rated pirelli sotto zero...?

They are right. I’m sure you have heavy winter as I do in my country. I had them on 212 amg, they are absolutely waste of money . Best choice is Nokia’s hakkapelita

Nokian has the best grip but I wonder if you’d wear them out too fast with a performance car as the E63 (footnote: drift mode in an empty snowy parking lot). I agree that the Pirelli Sottozero II are the least impressive (just look at the tread pattern and you instantly figure they’ll slip and slide!). But the Sottozero III look entirely different with more aggressive patterns. And they won’t wear down as fast as Nokian. At least that’s what I’m going for. I live in Calgary (where it’s snowing already) so I’ll keep you posted!
