I have continentals on my ride (staggered 18s, 8.5f 9.5r), and had no idea just how bad my ride would be. First snow we had I used snow-mode, barely gassing it sliding like a greased up sled until I got a hang of it.
Second snow I learned again - I have a gravel uphill driveway and basically took 30 minutes of getting completely stuck then making back and forth runs to make a path to get out.

Yeah wider tires make it even worse in snow.. I'm going to try to buy a skinnier tire size for the snow tires.

dude....go with the blizzak ws-60's.....trust me, you can't go wrong.

ask 19psi.....he's very knowledgable on tires.....i don't think going to a skinnier tire will make that much of a difference...

A friend of mine has 2002 Infiniti Q45, it is a RWD like LS. He has 255 tires on rear( he said Blizzaks) and can`t make up even small incline. Part of of it is wider tires, I believe, and probably InfinitiQ45 isn`t as good in snow as LS.
He used to have a 1993 LS and recollects he never had such problems in snow as with this 2002 Q45.

Looks like you had some fun.

Yeah you gotta be really careful on snow. Especially with a heavy rwd car like the LS.
