You might convince me but I tell you, you would not convince my wife. In any event, tires do make a huge difference but I do think front drive does work better in the snow.

Pfffff! You've swallowed the line on that one. Snowtires and bad power to weight ratio are WAY more important. My 240D is the best snow car I've ever driven bar NONE. Better than my Dodge Dakota in 4wd... Its heavy, low power, and with snow tires has great traction. My 190D is good but the 240D is much better. Last winter I had the summer tires and wheel in the trunk of the 190D, this winter I'm going to try some tubesand to see if I can get better balance. -Curt Date: Tue, 9 Sep 2008 11:17:12 -0500 From: "R A Bennell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [MBZ] What would you buy now?

In our snowy winters, one does need the traction and front drive is better in those conditions.
