I am thinking about picking up a GSF, and wondering how it drives in snow. I'm here in the northeast and winters some years we get some heavy snow. I had a rear drive BMW in the past and even with snow tires it was terrible to drive in snow. I plan to put all seasons on the car for all year use, has anyone done the same?

Winter driving is fine as the TVD does a good job of putting the power down, but you definitely need good snow tires.

I'm in MA and in a 19 GS F. My plan is to put all season tires on it for the winter. But no plans to drive it in the snow. I have a 2011 ES 350 for those days.

Toronto with 1 feet of snow sometimes. Drives fine in eco snow mode.

Just get winter tires for your safety.

i am also in new york and daily my GS-F even in the winter time. See below for my thread regarding the winter wheels & tires i use on mine. Car drives great on the snow tires btw. just take your time and drive.

BTW. if you decide to get a GS-F, i am probably selling this set of wheels before the winter. so if you're interested let me know

I daily my '16 GSF and drive it in the winter as well, though I work from home so I generally can stay in a day or two after a storm until roads dry up.

The car handles great in the snow as long as you are careful with the throttle. Definitely get some snow tires for winter driving. I've driven it with and without the snow mode on and have done just fine. 2 winters ago I drove an hour on the highway and partially plowed back roads immediately after getting a foot and half of snow to go clear my parents driveway for them. Your biggest challenge on the road will be avoiding the frozen slush ***** left behind by trucks and in deep enough snow you will become a snow plow.
