Winter Tires
Preparing for a bad Chicago winter and looking for a tire recommendation for my 2002 E55. Choices so far are Blizzak LM-60 , Michelin Pilot Alpin PA3, Yokohama W-Drive in 245/40/18 all the way around on the monoblocks. Most important thing would be snow and ice traction. Had a hard time getting out of my driveway last year on summer Perelli's.

German vehicles stink, will never buy again. Moved on to Toyota and BYD.
I have dunlop winter sport tire on my mono's... I found them to be really great on my S600. Only problem was that they were directional and can be difficult reversing (sometimes).

I would find a 17" set of E430 wheels and put 235-45-17 tires on. I would only get a speed rated snow tire unless you don't mind shredding a pair each season on the rears(the Q rated ones don't last long).
