I live on the Palmer Divide, which is the highest point east of the Rockies. We get a ton of snow from Sept thru May. I have Michelin Ice on a second set of rims and in the snow gear it has nver failed me...I never knew snow tires could be so useful. If they snow gets over 2 feet, i will have a problem, but so will your suburu..

i think LSD would even worsen the traction in the snow
one of the tires would just spin and the rear wont get enough torque down

a 4x4 SUV would be most suitable
then AWD
then FWD
and RWD are the worst on the snow

A Lexus ain't a summer car, nor anything near it. It's a seasonal car, granted you get seasonal tires.

This is my first post and not to change the subject, but I'm a fellow DSM'er as well! Pretty heavily modded and she moves pretty well, 11.60's @ 125.
