Roads are getting very nasty in and around Lansing Mich..No idea how widespread this little system is.

Unloaded in VA comfortably above freezing, South of the snow. I'd have to say the sprinter and my tires were flawless on the icy hills and curves, I79 to 460 to 100 s...nice and scenic as I like it

Hard to say if it's any better or worse in slippery pavement than my last van, I caught myself disengaging cruise for pedal feel and matching speed for the van, not the limit...in other words got my snowshoes back quick

Just finished eating my Burger King in front of the McDonalds window (better wifi) and I'm looking for that's wrench thingy for the filter cap so I don't have to spaghetti arm around the hoses up there

My Michelins this morning I got stuck in 3" of snow... had to rock the van and get a run at it ...lousy. $250.00 pieces of sh!t..
Good tires, not snow tires
Oil cap wrench? is that like an oil filter cap wrench?...... available at most auto zones and o reillies...
In the Merc 74.4 mm?
After my first really experience with my new Michelin Defenders and snow covered roads...I'm not impressed :rolleyes:
Full snows. Always. The Defenders are for the surprise beginning and end of season squalls

Everybody might find out this winter why I was asking 6 months ago how to make the sprinter ready...i still don't have chains, fingers crossed no 24/7 lake effect...

MS2"s are the same tread design.....they were crappy as well......a good set (2) of semi aggressive tread would be best for you where ya live...

Mission accomplished. O'Reilly 74-76 mm 14 flute cap wrench fits snugly enough to fully tighten / loosen silly sprinter's oil filter cap. Something relaxing about watching dirty oil drain...

Circle check complete. The next thing you'll hear about is Brok broken in the middle of nowhere making an idler pulley out of a toilet paper dispenser. (Unless I find one in stock first)
And tires could use rotating...nap time tho
