I live in Boston and had an awful winter with the S63 because I had the summer tires on them. If I put winter tires on the car is it drivable in the snow? Has anyone had a positive experience with snow tires on this car or should I purchase a SUV for the winter?

I am in Ontario Canada--I have had snows on my past S63coupe and S63 sedan--They both drove with snows without fault--Suggest economy setting so it starts off in second gear

I'm in Buffalo, I drove my CLS63 (RWD) with snows and had only one problem in 3 winters... I was plowed in from the city trucks and didn't wanna shovel, so I drove out. Was tricky, but I made it.
I Plan on getting snows for my S63 this year.

What tires did you have on your car for the winter? I'm looking at the Michelin Pilot Alpin Pa4. But I was thinking of keeping the 255 in the front and 285 in the back. That should work fine right?

Pirelli 255/35 on all 4 corners. That's what size that was suggested by Tirerack.

Did you put the 255s on the 9.5 inch wide rims in the rear or did you have to get new rims?

9.5"

Pirelli Sotto Zero 3 have been great for winter
