Meh, my FWD and snow tires are doing just fine so far. Even in the slick powdery stuff and on the ice. Only problems I forsee having would be if the snow got significantly taller than my car's ground clearance and was too packed to plow through.
haha nice though bro. yeah man i used to have a mark vii that thing was a bish in the snow. especially with the automatic leveling suspension bags had on it and mine was fcked up. dang that really sucked. so this ride deff a step up.
My grandparents used to live in Ararat, Virginia, right on the border with North Carolina. Mountains/hills galore. If they got any snow/ice, the area basically shut down due to not being able to travel. They lived there for over 40 years. Finally moved back up here. Just as cold, if not colder, but the traveling is easier.
