Yeah, fun day in snow!!!!!
Wow!!!! Had a great day in the snow today with my GX!!!! I've been waiting for a DAY like this for MONTHS since I got my GX in Martch 05'...!!!
I live in Long Island and drove to a nice emply parking lot and went to down trying to get the GX to spin 360 degress.... No dice... ABS and TRACTION control works as needed.....!!!
Excuse to the wife, "Honey, I need to test out the GX to see how she handles in the snow and to practice emergency manuevers..." That ALMOST washed with her, until she saw my EAR to EAR grin as I was walking out the door!
After about 30 minutes of driving around decided to head on home! 1/2 mile before my home is a 30 degree slope for about 100 yards and there were quite a few parked cars at the bottom that couldn't make it! Offered a few people lifts into the GX and drove them to the top!!!
Hey what are neighbors for!!!! Got thanked profusely and I had one guy tell me how much he envied me and that he would look into getting one now, I offered him a business card for my dealer and that's when he told me that his JEEP was one of the cars that couldn't make it!!!

Mine did good as well. No issues. Those dunlops just cant be beat. Great traction and stopping power. Who needs snow tires!??!
But you can spin a GX if you try. Its easy...
