Winter Tires

With my 55 set to arrive in October, I'm looking for a good set of winter tires to mount on the stock wheels. I was looking at the Hankook ones, anyone have any experience with them? Any other suggestions? Thanks in Advance.

Dunlop Winter Sport M2's or M3's are my favorite. Aggressive traction and great performance. Order early as they sold out last year in October. The 10 spoke 17's wheels will fit the AMG and are good for a dedicated set-up.

The dunlops don't fit the Stock 55 18" wheels, as they don't meet the load rating.

No thanks. For the price of a second set of wheels and winter tires, I'm going to pick up a used compact pickup to drive on those miserable, icy, wet, snowy, salted road days.
