I heard a lot of good things about the Blizzaks (forgot who made them) But the OEM Bridgestones aren't what I expected. Nature almost took me and Sheila out, so looks like I'll be picking up some over time to get me some new tires.

Made it through winter storm Rocky in Oklahoma City to Amarillo! My baby beasted through that snow! Funny thing is that some trucks were getting stuck and I wasn't have a problem at all lol

I have a 08 AWD with Dunlop All seasons on stock rims. The tires did pretty decent in the Winter Storm Rocky & the one before that in kansas. I did get a little stuck but snow mode didnt help because it kept cutting the power everytime i tried to accelerate. I ended up turning it off, Also, it didnt help that i was drifting every corner i could lol.

I only really use Sno Mode to get into the drive way in my parking lot. But he's right all it really does is cut power to the wheels and it's annoying. Also when I almost crashed Snow mode was on ironically enough. WOMP WOMP

Holy ***** halfnyce07 that's a lot of snow. It's snowing right now, but it's nowhere near as bad as that!
I never use snow mode, and the VSC stays on for the most part. It's impossible to get stuck when its on. There was one time when I was parking my car in a fresh snow drift at work, and while I was pulling in and out of the spot (to pack the snow), the car got stuck. I had VSC off. I turned it back on and put on about 30% throttle, and the car moved forward like nothing. Gotta love winter tires and AWD! Lol
