Best Winter Tires?
Well, my other car (W202) that is my winter car needs more work than its worth so now I have to drive the damn CLK while I look for a winter car.
I probably wont end up finding one until spring though because I am extremely type A when it comes to buying a car so i am going to have to drive the CLK through it first winter. 
Which brings me to my question... What are the best winter tires for the clk550? Any suggestions?

I had Pirelli 210 for the first few years and they were terrible.
Two years ago, based on the recommendation from my tire store, I bought Toyo Gairt KX. They are great, much better in driving in snow.
Also, I do put 100 lb of car litter in the trunk when they forecast heavy snow.

I was looking at these and thought they might be a good choice:

Though I have no direct experience with them.

G500, CLK500
I have the DWS for my all season tires (18"), but it gets a little slippery in the cold and snow. I went with the Blizzak LM-25's on the stock 17's. They are Run Flats so the sidewalls are a bit stiffer and seemed to ride well on dry pavement. They worked OK... but I got a G-Wagen for this winter.
