To an extent. I wish I could find the article I originally read about something specific with this MB TC system that is a unique issue.

You should definitely drive with it on most of the time, but when you start to have a problem, turning it off it the way to go.

I grew up in Chicago, so I've been driving in snow for 30+ years. It's not as hard as some people seem to make it out to be. I've driven everything from rear wheel drive hot rods, front wheel drive econo-boxes, 4 wheel drive Jeeps, and, yes, even motorcycles (which I try not to ride in the snow, but the trip home hasn't always worked that way). In the winter of 79, one of the worst ever, I even got nailed for speeding on the night of one of our worst storms. The cop first noticed the rooster tails flying up behind my car. What can I say, there was *no* traffic! : )

I know the when I put these new tires on, I should have gone with stock sizes, or even narrower, for the best winter driving, but the car just looks too damn good with some wide meat under it!
