We got a light dusting last night here in Kingston Ontario and I had the SHO out this morning in it. Handled it nicely, love having the rear end step out when I want it to.  :drive:

Do you have snow tires?  We received a light dusting here and I have got to say..... with the Goodyear f1's this was quite possibly the most terrifying car I have ever driven in the snow.  And I am the guy that intentionally goes out and drives in the snow.

We had about an inch or so.  It was fun.  The stock Michelin Primacys seem fine, but of course I would like the Pilot AS.

Last year, first snow with F1:



Winter tires are mandatory in Quebec but only form December 15th to March 15th. I but my Pirelli Scorpion Ice and Snow 3 weeks ago this year.

I have the Kumho 4x's on mine also. Took me up the mountains in the winter to go snowboarding multiple times with no trouble. My only problem was plowing snow since the car is so low :)
