The Mercedes AMG GT’s tires provide better handling because they have a lower 30 series profile (height to width ratio) that provides a stiffer sidewall than the Artura’s standard 35 series tires.

For better ride, handling and brake cooling the Mercedes AMG GT has standard 20-inch wheels. Only 19-inch front wheels are available on the Artura. The Mercedes AMG GT offers optional 21-inch wheels.
