    Default e55 in the snow?

    I havent tried my CLS in the snow but I am considering a DD e55.

    Has anyone driven the e55 in snowy conditions?

    On the oem tires, it goes nowhere. I haven't tried to drive it with all seasons or snow tires in the snow, yet. Hopefully some other people will chime in.

    i've driven a E350 in snowy conditions, not sure how it compares, but slap on a pair of good snow tires and you're good to go.

    I live in OH and have an E63. With OEM tires the car is useless. With some good snow tires you should be ok with a couple of inches. Blizzak's I hear are the best

    Yeah. We had a pretty brutal winter this year, and for the time I was home, I got stuck twice. Once in the DMV parking lot and once in my driveway.

    E55 and E63 are common up here during winter. You guys should be good.

    I have driven an E350 (W210) through the snow here in OKC last December and it did well and kept its traction.
