The ARS light on the dash sure blinked a lot this morning. Even at 20mph the rear kept on wanting to come around the front.  Except for one front wheel drive car many years ago I have driven rear wheel drive so I am rather used to then in the snow, but my E300 in the snow is like nothing else I have ever driven.
My wife said that she is done driving the car until spring.
Should I get another set of rims for narrow tires?
More weight in the truck?
Any other thoughts.... 
Thanks. |
