Just this Saturday, I went skiing and on the way back, I encounter pretty heavy snow on the road. The temp. was really cold, at about 15F. I have Dunlop wintersport M2 snow tires on my car. The road was very slippery, no salt and not plowwed yet, but there was no problem. The MSP keep me in control not to spin out when apply power but it do nothing if slip happen when there is no power applied(a little wandering/understeering happened to me when I coasting down). I think the stability control in the highend MB or BMW correct the car's direction both when accelerating or coasting.
I curious that is the MSP suppose to work when coasting?
Anyway, I am pretty much confident that I could go around 50mph but I kept it lower than 35mph to be on the safe side. Some people were driving faster than me but I think I have more control than them. Most people around here do not use snow tires. Some maniacs in 4WD/SUV also thinks that they could drive really fast in slippery condition.
I got the conclusion that Maserati with snow tires and MSP is working pretty good in very cold slippery road. I think that it is even better than the SUV with all season tires.
