I am using old style snow tires with the big bite. Extremely affordable ($238/4 - 195 70R14's - Winter Kings). I am using them on 3 MB's and am very happy.
One set is on its second winter with no appreciable wear. I would guess at this rate that I can get 4 winters out of each set.
100 lbs of sand in the trunck and they go through anything and climb any hill.
I now can sleep at night if my girls are driving home on snow.
