Lastly, does anyone actually uses their winter tyres all year round??
Just checked the Merc site, it'd appeared that they do not offer winter tyres package, apart from the Unimog !!!I'd buy a summer/winter wheel and tyre package direct from Mercedes as part of the deal. This would be a normal option in other countries in Europe.
Thanks Simon, so does that mean std 18" rim from say a 250CDI would go on a AMG then...?Clearance over the calipers is really close on 18" wheels - I would be amazed if 17" fit.

Yes thanks, its rhetorical question, should have known betterRegarding running winter tyres all year round, while mine are outstanding in snow & ice in winter time and also really grippy on wet roads when the weather is warmer, they do not like warm dry roads and tend to slide very easily on roundabouts etc. You really need a spare set of wheels & swap them as the weather dictates.

Thanks Grober, for a nano sec. there.FOR WINTER TYRES the maxim is the narrower the better [ up to a point obviously ] and the highest aspect ratio tyre you can fit within the confines of maintaining rolling radius and a wheel diameter that won't foul anything such as brake callipers. You will also find some "favoured sizes" of winter tyres which will yield a greater choice. C63 winter tyres may be difficult to source but not impossible.
Hey Benjy, all good here, hope same is true for you. Got my winter tyres and the winter has run away! See you soon. Maybe a meet at Brooklands sometime. Can you PM me a real email address please so I can send you something interesting ;-).
