Winter tyres on w211 e55?

[350cls]

What brand/type are 55 owners running if at all on the 18" wheels or is it a case putting the beast to bed for the winter months?

Cheers

Living on the south coast I have never used winter tyres as its rare we get snow.
Saying that, last winter was very snowy and my car didn't leave the driveway. It can be a handful in the wet if you are not careful so snow/ice = no chance for me.

I'll be interested to see what brands are recommended by anyone using winters on a 55k car.

I have Hankooks 18s on the CLK and now the e class coupe, but they're not on yet.
I go 'oop north' a fair bit for work between Jan and Mar, often in my caro, so they will get fitted in a few weeks or certainly closer the Christmas

Only a V6 not a 55, but they only reference II ca provide.
Car felt normal in them in snow and freezing temps (which is the point of winters)

I thought as much 55K not ideal for snow/icey weather, bad enough in the wet. I did have the use of another car but sadly the 318 bwm e46 died on me last week so either need a different car to get me about or winter tyres on the 55 I'm.thinking a different car would be the correct thing to do. I'm actually thinking a w211 estate as always liked the estates. 320, 280 diesel. Winter rubber will be needed on this also I amagine.

What do you use Roger if the conditions are not fit for your 55K?

I swipe the wife's Kia Rio Tom

Having packed in work, it's no sweat to stay indoors if its snowy weather.
I'm not so much worried about my abilities, but other people in poor weather conditions.
So I just leave the E55 on the drive and don't worry.
