damn weather!
 
ok, so i was hoping my C63 would get delivered a few weaks before the weather got bad so i could enjoy it, but the dealer says its in vancouver now and ill be able to pick it up in a week, we also just had our first snow yesterday.
so, any input in snow tires, driving style, or whatever it may be that can help me drive this through the winter would be helpful
thanks in advance

blizzaks or nokians should be good to go in snow. You dont have a second beater car to drive around for the winter?

If you're not getting snow tires, get used to driving on hockey pucks in freezing temps.

you don't get much snow in vancouver you'll probably be fine.

You're in Vancouver, very little snow. Pick up a set of Hankook IceBear W300's. They have more than enough snow traction for Vancouver, and for winter tires, the best dry traction available.

Be prepared to go through a set or 2 of rears every winter though.

Look into Continental DWS tires.

Those are all-seasons, only good for a light dusting of snow that doesn't really stick. Even tho Van doesn't get that much snow, there are still days where there's snow and ice. You'll get stuck very easily in a C63 with those tires.

I just had Blizzak LM60 put on today on wheels called Elbrus or something...whatever Tire Rack had, I have that package. We'll see how it goes, I had the LM25 on my G37 and they were good.
