Default Should I drive my new E55 in winter or not?
Although I've still got my S4 for winter and every other month, I would love to put some snow tires on my E55 and drive it too. Unfortunately, nothing besides an 18" wheel will fit over my AMG 8 piston brakes so I would have to run snow tires on stock 18" wheels. In addition, I'm a bit worried about the E55's traction even with snow tires on roads with snow or ice. What do you guys think?

keep it in the garage, last thing you want to do is wreck that beauty because of 18" snow tires!

Default My dad runs 18" snows on his S8 in Moscow. Dont see a problem with him running the same.............
i would think where ever he is located the roads are cleared and are better than Moscows roads.

I wouldn't. You have an S4, why not drive that?

Where do you live? Why run the E55 when you have the S4?
