Both equally hopeless on summer rubber in the winter
Both transformed by winter rubber
Personally I keep the same rims but change the rubber to winters early November until April
If Michelin did cross climates in my size I’d run them or at least try
I agree with this.
The only obsevation I would make is that I prefer to change wheels and tyres. Changing tyres will over time stretch or damage the beading and could lead to failure.
You might be pleasantly surprised.My new E Class is four wheel drive but still going to be pretty dire I should imagine, mainly due to the width of the tyres which will just act like little snow boards.

Johns tyres probably wont last a season anyway!I agree with this.

I reckon your four wheel drive E class will be fine in the snow , probably not as good as winters on a rear wheel drive , but better than a front wheel drive with no winters .....sounds like a brain teaserMy new E Class is four wheel drive but still going to be pretty dire I should imagine, mainly due to the width of the tyres which will just act like little snow boards.
