how come nobody ever mentioned the c63 was bad in the snow?

That would be like mentioning that the sky is blue. Too obvious for discussion.

haha, I just came here looking for info on how the C does in snow. A lot of threads on it already. Some showing the C doing just fine in the snow with snow tires. I'll be heading up to Killington VT this wknd.

So question...what type of tires come on the C? I would imagine all season, correct? I am in PA if that makes a difference.

I miss my G55

Most people recommend that the high torque rwd cars like your C63 be fitted with dedicated snow tires. These are not stock from the dealer. I can't answer your acutall question on which tires you have now. You can just go look on the sidewall and google your findings.

i was trying for irony....

If you have a C63, then it's as easy as going out to your car and looking at what tires came with it. I can assure you that it did not come with all seasons from the factory. I think you'll be fine in your C63 this weekend in Killington. There isn't supposed to be any snow forecasted this whole weekend and they do a pretty vigilant job in keeping the roads cleared.

I don't think today's snow was that bad...at least around outside of Boston. I don't see why your C63 would get stuck; our 750Li w/ summer tires mounted did fine

At least when i had the C i used friction tires (loose translation, dunno what it's called over there). Either way, unstudded (?) tires, which i suppose are the only ones legal in NA, are useless. I had them on the C, and on the E in the beginning of the winter. Switched to studded after a while and it actually felt like i got an AWD vehicle, at least compared to the earlier tire driving experience...
