Drive it and enjoy it!

I use my 400E 365 days a year from -15 to 105 F. These cars are NOT meant to be treated like museum pieces, and I think that putting them away for months at a time is more harmful than using them.

If your Arctic Alpins are brand spankin' new, expect them to get better with a few miles on them. Winter tires are not at their best when brand new. I'm happy with mine, and they're on their 3rd season.

Make sure your tire pressure is OK, and put a couple sand bags over the rear axle.

Oh, by the way, if you haven't already done so, switch to Mobil 1, either 0W-40 or 15W-50, and I also switched to Mobil 1 ATF. Both make you and your car happy when you start it when it's been sitting out in the bitter cold.
