The AMG steering wheel itself is not directly calibrated for different tire sizes or suspension settings. However, the steering system and related vehicle settings can be adjusted to accommodate changes in tire size or suspension modifications. The steering wheel does, however, play an important role in providing feedback that is influenced by tire and suspension settings, especially in high-performance vehicles like those from the AMG range.

Here’s a breakdown of how changes in tire sizes and suspension settings can interact with the AMG steering system:

1. Tire Size Adjustments and Steering Feedback

• Larger Tires: Increasing tire size can alter the steering feel by changing the turning radius, traction, and road feedback. Larger tires typically provide more surface area in contact with the road, which can make the steering feel slightly heavier or less responsive, especially at low speeds.
• Smaller Tires: Conversely, smaller tires can make the steering feel lighter and more responsive, but may reduce the vehicle's overall stability at higher speeds.
• Calibration Through Steering Assist: The AMG vehicles often come equipped with Active Steering Assist or Steering Directness Adjustments. These systems use software to dynamically adjust steering response to match the vehicle’s current setup (including tire size), ensuring that the steering remains optimized for comfort or performance, depending on the driving mode.

2. Suspension Changes and Steering Characteristics

• Stiff Suspension: A stiffer suspension setup typically improves handling performance and reduces body roll, but can make the steering feel firmer and may reduce feedback from the road. AMG vehicles are often equipped with Active Body Control (ABC) or adjustable dampers, which can adapt the suspension stiffness based on driving conditions.
• Softer Suspension: A softer suspension offers better comfort and absorbs road imperfections more effectively but may reduce the sharpness and precision of the steering response. Steering wheel feedback can feel less crisp or direct on such setups.
• Adaptive Suspension Calibration: When the suspension settings change (e.g., when switching between Comfort, Sport, or Race modes), the steering response can also adjust. Many AMG vehicles allow you to fine-tune steering feel through driving modes, which dynamically adjust the power steering assistance (e.g., from lighter to more direct).

3. Steering Ratio and Tire Size

• Adjustable Steering Ratio: Some AMG vehicles feature an electronically variable steering ratio that changes based on speed and driving mode. In such cases, changes to tire size might impact the optimal steering ratio, and the steering control system can adapt to these changes. For example, larger tires or wider wheels might require slightly more effort to turn at higher speeds, and the steering system can compensate for this with more or less assistance.

4. Vehicle ECU and Tire/Suspension Settings Integration

• Modern AMG vehicles integrate tire and suspension settings with the vehicle’s Electronic Control Units (ECU). This means that any changes in tire size or suspension stiffness can be communicated to the vehicle’s systems (including traction control, stability control, and steering calibration).
• Dynamic Adjustment: The vehicle's Drive Mode Selector can adjust the behavior of multiple systems simultaneously, including steering, suspension, and traction. If you change the tire size or suspension, the ECU can recalibrate the steering wheel’s feedback and assist systems to suit the new setup. This ensures that the driver still experiences a responsive and balanced drive, regardless of changes in vehicle configuration.

5. Customization via AMG Dynamic Select

• AMG Dynamic Select allows the driver to switch between different modes, such as Comfort, Sport, and Race. These settings typically modify the behavior of the steering system, suspension, and traction control. With changes in tire size or suspension, these systems can adjust in real-time, providing the right balance of steering feedback and handling precision.
• Steering Response Control: Depending on the mode selected, the steering effort and feedback are dynamically modified, which may help compensate for any effects introduced by tire or suspension modifications.

6. Professional Calibration (for Significant Modifications)

• If you’re making significant modifications to your AMG vehicle, such as installing larger tires or upgrading the suspension, it is often recommended to have the vehicle recalibrated by a professional. This ensures that the steering system, along with other vehicle systems, is properly adjusted to maintain optimal driving dynamics and safety.

Conclusion:

While the AMG steering wheel itself does not require direct calibration for changes in tire size or suspension settings, the vehicle's overall steering system is closely integrated with the tires and suspension. The ECU, steering assist, and suspension settings can all be adjusted to compensate for changes, ensuring that the steering response remains optimal. In most AMG models, changes made to the suspension or tire sizes will likely be addressed through the car’s dynamic systems (such as driving modes and adaptive steering), and in cases of significant modifications, recalibration by a professional may be necessary to ensure optimal performance and handling.
