History
History of the Mercedes-Maybach Gamme Mercedes-Maybach - véhicules particuliers
The Mercedes-Maybach passenger car range is built around the Mercedes-Maybach S-Class sedan, the brand's historic core since its revival in 2015. Derived from the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, it sets itself apart with an extended wheelbase, spacious and reclining rear seats, reinforced sound insulation, and exclusive finishes. Designed first for the chauffeur-driven rear passenger, it offers lounge-style appointments, tray tables, a refrigerator, and a characteristic two-tone paint scheme. It is available in S 580 (V8) and S 680 (V12) versions, the latter being the most exclusive. Assembled in Sindelfingen, Germany, it embodies Mercedes' high-end craftsmanship. In Quebec, this heavy and powerful sedan, shod with 20- to 21-inch wheels and low-profile tires, clearly benefits from a dedicated set of winter tires to preserve grip and comfort during the cold season.

Tires and wheels
Tire and wheel compatibility
Les Mercedes-Maybach roulent sur de grandes jantes : les VUS GLS et EQS reçoivent typiquement des diamètres de 21 à 23 pouces, tandis que les berlines Classe S adoptent souvent des jantes de 20 à 21 pouces. L'entraxe (bolt pattern) courant est 5x112, typique de Mercedes-Benz, avec un alésage central voisin de 66,6 mm. Les pneus sont de profil bas et de fortes dimensions, ce qui rend les équivalences et le choix de modèles homologués importants. Au Québec, l'achat d'un jeu de pneus d'hiver dédiés est obligatoire et fortement recommandé, souvent sur jantes de diamètre légèrement inférieur pour le confort et le coût.
