My 97 E420 has ASR, but not ESP. Is ASR the standard traction control, and the ESP an even fancier computerized traction control? If I don't have the ESP, am i doomed to drive on snow with 16" regular all-season tires in SE MI??? I was fine with 16" all season tires in my 5speed manual RWD BMW but that car had all kinds of electronic safety features like ASC+T, DSC, etc etc.....
