Fastest SUV Into a Snowbank (non-Audi content)

[Kerry Griffith <kgriffit@parkcity.k12.ut.us>]

Another reason to stick to quattros:
My father has leased Grand Cherokees until this fall when I talked him into an ML430 (he insists on SUVs).
I order snow tires. Tire Rack sends a set of Bridgestone Duellers on take-off ML320 wheels. They don't fit over the larger calipers of the '00 ML430. Call Tire Rack this a.m. Salesman apologizes, says he thought the ML was a '99. They don't have a wheel that fits, and there is not a snowtire made that fits the new ML430.
I hope my father in law manages to keep it on the road. I'll bet a lot of owners of ML430s, ML55s and BMW SUVs are going to be slip sliding away this winter. I further hope my father in law forgives me!
