1st winter w/out 4WD
It's my 1 winter w/out 4WD. I traded in my RX300 for the ES330 and now I'm regretting it! Do I need snow tires for the ES330? Should I add some weight to my trunk, like sand bags, the way I used to before the days of SUVs? I feel like this car is so light on snow covered roads! 
Any advise to get me through the long, cold, snowy winter ahead?

snow tires are the key
i run the dunlop m3 winter sport tire on my stock wheels for the winter.
we just ended 4 days of snow and subzero weather here in colorado springs, and ive had zero problem with traction. the other night there was a full tilt blizzard in colorado, i was the only car on the rd..the rest were hummers and full size suv's...again with zero problems. So yeah go get some snow tires. My buddy and i both got the dunlops...he drives a stage 3-? dodge srt and has also had great luck with them.
