My 300E without any ASR was one of the most confident snow cars I have ever driven with that style of winter tire. I could panic stop on ice, lol. It makes me actually miss the snow, for a second at least.
I appreciate this info! We actually DID have snow today and the tires did just great (all 4 wheels). The siping on these tires is DEEP so really flopping if you just put your hand on them and feel them, but they do seem to be very good in the snow.

Thanks again,

Chuck
