Regular snows on my 240D cost a couple mpg consistantly. -Curt Thanks- the energy to create all that noise has to come from somewhere! Tony Wirtel
Re: [MBZ] Studded tires and 300sd fuel mileage
Anyone have a ballpark figure for how much MPG running studded tires costs? Roughly: zero. Do watch out for tires that are the wrong size, that'll change things a bit if it affects the odometer/speedometer. -- Jim

Just "resurrected" an '85 300sd that has studded snows on the back. Anyone have a ballpark figure for how much MPG running studded tires costs? I have no idea- am only running the car for a few weeks to get to know it before I sell it. Tony Wirtel 300sd, 300e
