I've got a 300td, so I'll put serious ice & snow tires on the car this
wnter rather than load up the rear end with weight. Speaking of which, I
wonder if anyody has tried Michelin's X Ice tire. Tire Rack says it uses
a silica rubber compound; I would hope that means more longevity than
Bridgestone's Blizzaks. It looks like it's siped similarly to Nokian's
Hakk Q.
I think I'll query Luke at Tire Rack and see what kind of pitch he delivers.

I've seen a lot of people using shingles, concrete blocks, etc., but I
prefer to use something that will break apart in a crash, like sand
bags. It's not quite as much of a worry in the Mercedes, but I used to
drive a station wagon.
