Took my e63 AMG for a snow drift and it was a lot of fun. Who said Mercedes w211 cannot be driven on snow? I also share many winter driving tips for a rwd car. Winter tires make a huge difference and are so much better than all season on snow. When you drift the e63 AMG on snow winter tires give you much more confidence. These Michelin Pilot Alpin tires are amazing. Who else drives all year round?

I drive an E500 all year round. But it's a 4matic. I've driven it through a lot of storms that saw a lot of vehicles and even snow plows in the ditch.

Yep, when I had my e350 and then w212 e550 I didn’t even need winter tires. I was on the raod during every north eastern blizzard without issues. 4matic is great! Originally Posted by amosfella

'05 cdi rwd with Michelin Ice x on all 4 corners. The only icy road issues I have come from the moron in front of me with all season tires.

4matic can't help you stop. I'll take rwd + winter tires over 4matic + all seasons. Originally Posted by Rovel

I meant to underline how good 4matic was giving traction. But I absolutely agree that winter tires are the best regardless of 4 or 2 wheel drive.Originally Posted by tjts1

Had some more fun sliding around during yesterday's North-Eastern Blizzard, Kenan
The first time I drove my CLS55 in the snow, I got stuck immediately. Then again, I’m still on summer tires. Lmao
