Hmm.. could not related to what you guys talking about.. I have snow tire on my GS. I could go every where I want in winter. I suspect tire is the key to the problem. A snow tire is a good choice for driving in snow.

I been using my stock GT+4 for the first winter in 2000.... no problem at all in snow.. then I have snow tire on 2001 winter.. no problem at all either...

I have the Dunlop SP5000s and a set of Blizzaks.

The Dunlops are excellent in the rain - I've not driven them in the snow.

The Blizzaks are great in the snow.

The OE Invictas are no good.

It only takes 2 things to drive your GS in snow successfully.

1. Good tires. They don't have to be snow tires but a good all-weather tire with decent tread. Of course snow tires would be better.

2. A good driver. Know your car and know your limitations and you shouldn't have any problems at all.

Keep in mind all of the other idiot drivers that are out driving in the snow. Those are the things you need to worry about.

Low profile tires SUCK in the snow. VSC limits your wheel spin if your stuck. Taking it off may make you lose control.

I KNOW, I've been STUCK in the snow (I wrote a story about it)
:eek:
