 Description of the problemI write you to report a serious mercedes benz safety hazard. The gle 43 with pirelli pzero tires responds adversely (without reasonable control) in snowy conditions. In even mildly snowy conditions, the tires plane on the snow and act more as skis than tires. In 2018, after leasing my gle 43 i experienced loss of control, sliding sideways, while making a left turn at 5-10 mph in a parking lot. Following that experience i purchased snow tires and the car handled much more favorably. In 2018 when i leased the car, i was told by the dealership that only the sport tires were available for the size tire i requested. Clearly i was able to purchase snow tires the same year and i suspect, but have not confirmed, all weather tires are also available. Mercedes mistakenly did not offer (or make the standard) all weather tires. This was a serious safety mistake with the gle 43. On 07 sep of this year (2020), driving east on i-70 in colorado during a mild snow storm, i was required to come to a traffic stop. Conditions offered ample road to stop. The gle speed was ~40-50 mph when i applied breaks to stop the car. Instead of responding with control, the gle fishtailed and spun out of control. I finally slid to a stop in the middle of three lanes of stopped traffic after at least one 360 degree spin. My family and i were fortunate to have escaped injury or death. Others around us could have also been injured or killed. The gle
