Snow Tires

Yes it is barely summer but I have not had any luck finding snow and ice tires for my ML500 the past several winters.

What are you doing for winter (not four season) tires and where did you get them?

why would you need snow tires on a 4x4 SUV?

Well, I have them on my Audi A6 4.2 Quattro and you can't believe the difference they make until you try it. I was like you, thinking a 4x4 did not need dedicated snow tires. I was wrong.

because this 4x4 SUV comes with hi performance summer tires from the factory... you try and drive around in slush or ice with those... JUNK once the tread fills up

I too have the same exact setup as Pete rims & tires. Strictly for snow for my truck. Difference is like Night and Day. Well worth it!!
