I had a '99 Turbodiesel too and I put Hakka snows on it all the time. the confidence of the stability they provide can't be replaced.

You should check in with Hogweed because he is selling snow tires for a W210 right now. I know this because I sold them to him last year but I don't think he ever used them. They are almost brand new.
