How is the snow tire(ex. dunlop 3d on 17' wheel) behave on c300 sport? This winter i think i don't need one, but next year I am definately need one, I want to go snowboarding and this is Seattle we are talking about.
Any experience with snow tire on our RWD cars?
Do they drive well on couple of inch snow?

i live in toronto canada region
and i can say the car in general is tail happy but the ESP evens out the car and i'd say with extra time and keeping distance u'll be fine.

its mostly the driver that will decide how well the car will fair in the snow.
with winter tires i think you'll be fine

I have the Dunlop 3D 245/40/17 and will handle almost any winter condition.

Since I am in Seattle and drove through all that recent snow we had in my RWD C-300, here is the answer.

I have a set of four Nokian WRg2 winter tires mounted on the OE 17" wheels (used for winter only, now) and went wherever I wanted to go. I knew enough to stay away from the steeper snow-packed streets, I drove on packed and unpacked snow and on slush.

The Nokians performed better on snow than the Blizzaks I had on a previous Mercedes and are quieter. Quieter than the summer tires, in fact.

The Nokians also do not have the squirrelly feeling on wet-only pavement that the Blizzaks had.

The weather seems to be improving so I will likely reinstall the 18s (Bridgestone tires) next week.
