Their Multicell compound looks like Swiss cheese under a microscope, with uniformly distributed pores to wick away water on the surface of ice and class snow (classe neige in French) and grip the surface better. Mercedes Benz forums are full of recommendations for them as winter tires. You'll have to spend some extra money on tires to have sets for two seasons, but the upgrade in safety is worth the expense.
But an all wheel drive model isn't the only option. You can do just fine with a two wheel drive model, despite the rear wheel drive design. All you need to do is winterize your Mercedes car appropriately. You'll want to swap them out for summer or all weather tires from roughly mid-April to mid-November in most parts of the United States. As you might imagine, winter tires are for winter.
If you live in Arizona, you don't have worry about how your Mercedes handles in a winter wonderland. The Benz engineers have helped you by building in traction control on many models. That helps with acceleration and deceleration. Mercedes Benz cars are generally a rear-wheel drive outfit, and that sends chills down the spines of people who have to drive in class snow (classe neige in French) and ice.
