Blizzaks are nearly the best there is.....Second only maybe to Nokian
Hakkapelitta's.
They make a world of difference over all seasons.

Subject: Re: [MBZ] snow tires
A few years ago I was caught in a snowstorm, and after getting tired of the
rear end sliding around on Remington tires, I stopped at a tire shop in
the town I was in and they had a set of 4 used very little Blizzacks. I
put them on the 300SDL, and have been using them each winter since. My
SDL
is pretty close to a snowplow with those on. I did end up with an extra
set of factory wheels in need of paint, and those have the Blizzacks
on. Last fall I painted them with a rattle can (NAPA) and they look
decent
now.
Blizzacks work nicely on LWB126 cars IMHO

We are having our first snow/ice/freezing rain of the season here in
America's Heartland (Kansas) and I am planning to get snow tires. On my
most recent prior Mercedes, the snow tires came with the car mounted on
a second set of wheels (2 tires not four). Well, I sold that car to OK
Don and I am without snow tires. So, while I was picking up my car at
my indy (because of the %^#^ hose repair), I asked him if he had any
snow tires. He told me they would not help on my car. He said that
they would not work on a LWB 126 as well as they did on my 124. This
sounds like malarkey to me. Has anyone tried out snow tires on a 126
(esp. LWB 126). Do they help? Am I destined to slip and slide all over
the place?
