I am considering purchasing a 2007 CLK 350 Convertible which will be my commuter (90 miles roundtrip) but I live in central NJ and swore I would never go back to a RWD after my 99 C class gave me a couple of eventful days in the winter. I have a 03 C320 4 matic that goes through anything the winter can dish out but that will not be my wifes car. With winter tires on the CLK should I be ok? Does anyone have any winter driving experience with this car to speak of? I plan on the train on the worst days but I am still a bit apprehensive with the RWD, however I love the car and know if I dont get it now I never will.

Thoughts???

 

It is still a light rear wheel car..... but....
Irun blizzaks tires in the winter and it makes a big difference. buy a spare set of rims to make switch out easier
Irun blizzaks on SAAB and a quattro Audi ans i can go places my Expidition will not
There are other brands of winter tires to look at
