Any comments on the above tire? Looking for a Mercedes 2010 C-Class sedan that currently has factory All Seasons that almost killed me first snowfall. The car is 4-matic, traction going uphill seemed fine and I moved past people that were stuck with their FWD and RWD cars but then I was going down southland drive, it was icey and I suddenly realized I was floating no traction what so ever. So I could use a winter tire. Found a set of these at a tire shop they're selling for a good deal.
Thanks!

they are okay. They are a great in the snow for
an all season. Why don't you buy some winter tires and rims? You have (I assume) relatively new all seasons, use those for the spring/summer/fall and put on dedicated winters for the winter. It won't cost you anything over the life of the car, as you'll wear each set half what you would 1 set of all seasons. You can likely sell the rims for close to what you pay for them when you sell the car.
coles notes: Buy a dedicated winter on their own rims, best time to do this is when the car is relatively new and you can amortize their cost over the life of the car to result in a lifetime cost of zero.
