Nothing better than 3
There is nothing better than knowing that 3 ML 500's await a predicted few inches of snow in the morning. Driving this car in bad weather is a comforting sensation. Knowing that everyone in my family is protected by the safety engineering put in this car is awsome. Although mine is temporary, I still feel as safe, if not safer than that of my old body style ML. The other one is in the garage next door.

Trust me this car is safe. A pickup truck broadsided the driver's side of my ML500 at almost 40 mph and the only thing that happened was my arm hurt a little from the bump against the door. If I was driving something else I would've been hurt. It also got five star crash ratings in front and side impacts. MB did a great job with this car's safety features 
Be careful though, if you have summer tires on there like how my ML came with, GET THEM OFF and put some snow tires on. It snowed last week and I made a turn and the understeer almost made me crash into a brick wall. I also don't like that this one doesn't have a low-range gear like my old ML did.

ML 500, John Deere tractor
Dittos on what 500 said. If you have the Bridgestone Turanzas you'll be waiting for the snow plow. They are a good dry pavement tire but that's about it. I bought a set of Blizzaks with rims from the tire rack. I haven't driven it in snow yet but my wife has and says it's much better.
