My C55 got his Snow Shoes
Finally got my winter wheels/tires installed today, only a day after the first big snowstorm and a nightmare drive home from work on my Pirelli's.

Here's a quick pic I snapped with my phone at the shop, I'll try and take a couple more and post them up.

The rims are OEM 17x7.5 fronts and 17x8.5 rear, with Dunlop SP WinterSport 3D's 245/40 and 225/45.

You'll love the tires (or tyres as they say in Finnish); I use the Artic Alpins on the ML and am going to Nokian Hakepellitas next year as they are better than the Michelins (wife has em on her GX 470) and' the Nokian's are the best i've ever used, even better than the Gislaved's I've had.
