C43 in the snow???
I will be using my C43 this winter, anyone have any experience with driving there car in bad snow? Had a 400E perviously as my winter car and drove it through many a bad snow storms with a good set of snow tires and never had a problem! Can't see the C43 being any worse?? Probably going to run studded snow tires for extra bite!

if you learned how to manage in a 400e then you'll be fine in a C43.
I can't do it. I had goodyear eagle F1's and I was completely useless. couldn't leave the house the one time it snowed.

I had a 99 camaro that i drove in 6-7 michigan winters, with the narrow snow tires on steel wheels it was never a problem. i never plan on driving my c43 in the winter but if i had to i would do the same, run 205 or 225 all around on 17 or 16" wheels (does 16" clear the brakes?). with the winter transmission switch and traction contraol i imagine it will not be too bad.

if you want to keep your car in good condition 4ever don't drive it in winter, it will turn into a w210 rustbucket within years.
w210 car is the most inferior quality wise from MB, this car will probably be forgotten in the future?
maybe Saudi Arabia and Florida cars are the best and free from rust?
