Vehicle model
Maybach Gamme Maybach - utilitaires ou VUS
Mercedes-Maybach's SUV lineup is now the volume core of the brand in North America. It is built around the GLS 600, an ultra-luxury full-size SUV launched in 2020 and billed as "the S-Class of SUVs," and the fully electric EQS version. These vehicles target affluent customers seeking space, road presence, and a rear cabin worthy of a prestige sedan, with executive seats, tablets, and hand-finished trim. Notably, these SUVs are assembled in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, which makes service and parts more accessible in Canada. As for tires and wheels, these imposing SUVs run very large wheels (often 22 to 23 inches) and wide tires; in Quebec, a dedicated set of winter tires, ideally on separate wheels, is strongly recommended for winter safety and to protect the wheels from salt.

Tire and wheel compatibility
Les Mercedes-Maybach roulent sur de grandes jantes, typiquement de 20 à 23 pouces selon le modèle, avec des pneus à profil bas qui privilégient l'allure et le confort feutré plutôt que l'agrément sportif. Les VUS GLS et EQS adoptent souvent des montes larges, parfois en configuration étagée (avant/arrière différents) ; la berline Classe S reçoit des dimensions généreuses. L'entraxe suit les standards Mercedes (couramment 5 trous). Au Québec, des pneus d'hiver dédiés, dans la dimension d'origine ou en montage hiver de diamètre plus modeste, sont fortement recommandés pour la sécurité et pour préserver les jantes du sel et des nids-de-poule. Confirmez toujours dimensions et indices exacts sur la plaque ou les documents du véhicule.
