These cars are very tail happy on dry pavement, imagine how it'll be on snow.
Be gentle on the throttle and steer slowly.
ESP is a life saver thank god! I was going left at the middle of an intersection down a slope, when the rear tires suddenly lost grip, the car was going to hit the kerb on the right when ESP intervened I felt every wheel brake individually and the car straightened it self out
There's a S/W switch in the shifter console. Standard starts the car in 1st gear. Winter in 2nd gear.
Drive safe.

No I did not take this car to the track yet this one is in storage until spring its not completed yet ,we still have some finishing touches to do
But I'm using my 2005 C55 for the winter and I took that one to the track last year it ran so beautiful.

I have used Toyo T1S/T1R in the winter and was always happy when I made it home alive. Unless I start gaining speed at the bottom of the hill on my street, the car in the snow would not be able to jump a 1 inch lip where my driveway meets the street.

Michilin x-ice are pretty amazing in my experience even compared to the toyo observe garits. Granted they were mounted on a wrx but the amount of traction even on ice was pretty astounding considering they're studless.
