I think my 250 AWD handles snow and ice very well. I am happily amazed and had trouble actually trying to skid or make it fishtail. Impressive.

I like the AWD in the winter also when i had it. I never used snow tires. It had the orginal brigdestone that came with them for the last two winter without an issue. But now that i have the 350 i order snow tires cause were i work has step hills so i dont wanna get stuck and roll back down.

Just put these tires on my 18" G-Spiders on my 2010 IS 250AWD and am looking forward to experiencing my first AWD car in the snow sometime.

In a neighborhood street with no cars nearby with all snow, I did hit the throttle all the way to see what it was going to do and the car started beeping as the traction control light was going off at me and it was cutting off the power - good safety feature I guess!
