Wholy @#$% My benz drives like crap in the snow!
Just wondering if anybody has drives there slk230 in the snow? I am planning on putting the max 200lbs of weight in the trunk along with 4 bridgestone bliz-x tires. But I was looking to see if anybody has fitted there car with snow tires and it still handles bad in the winter! I live in Michigan and thats right we already have a very lame 3 inches on the ground!

You suck I wish I was somewhere warm. I drove my 320 in the snow and it sucked ***. ok maybe it was cus the S-O3's on them. Oh well, the car goes away in the winter. Snow is now up to 5" in Kalamazoo, MI.
Oh and Red, good to see you're from MI too. Just 45 min away from me.
