Salt and cold mornings punish cheap shortcuts. Watch brake clearance and overall diameter if you downsize winter wheels on the 2023 Mercedes-AMG C43. That's where I'd start. Keep sale price, fees, and rate as three different conversations. Not driving it hard until I know more.

This is a climate question as much as a tire question. In South Florida, dedicated winters on the 2023 Mercedes-AMG C43 paid off more than I expected on ice, even on plowed roads.
