I have a 1989 300SE with 160k miles (pretty good shape) and I am wondering what tires to get for snow tires and what tires to get for summer tires. I currently have Contitracs which are okay. They handle pretty well. I can tell a big difference in handling in this car from my old 1985 500SEL. Any comments?
Thanks,
Ben

The best snow tires are the Nokia Hakkapaletta Q. You can find them if you do a search. I can personally attest to their grip and stability on snow. Regular summer tires are better in the dry and wet but that is one of the compromises you make when you run snow tires.
