For those with snow tires (AND NON-AWD models) that drove through the huge snow storm tonight, how did the car perform tonight? If you didn't have snow tires, you got nowhere. So let's finally get some feedback in a storm!

I drove my 350 this morning on pretty snowy/icy streets. No problems, on my blizzak LM25's.

Dave in NW suburbs

I'm in Barrington/Hoffman Estates (border) and we had an accident in the intersection outside of the subdivision. So, the police directed the traffic into our unplowed neighborhood. We had to get 13 cars unstuck.

There was a semi truck stuck in here until well past 2 AM, which ended up actually blocking the snow plows... we couldn't even get out of the driveway, much less the subdivision

I'm in Naperville and we were getting an icy rain/snow mix when I was on the roads. My 350 felt fine on the LM25s. Left it in Snow mode and just took it easy. No problems.

TheRupp

WOW you guys got off easy...




Not the best picture, but that's about 10" of snow, taken in an area where a snow plow wouldn't push anything to

That looks cold! Here in NJ, winter took off this year. Today I went out on my bike in balmy 61º weather for a sweet ride.

Yup, 14" of snow in 3 hours in some parts.

I'm from Bufflao Grove and my A4 Quattro went through anything and everything. I want to buy a 350 around May/June and nights like yesterday make me want to reconsider. But the streets this am were perfect. Did anyone actually drive during the storm like myself?

TheRupp

It was 50° here Thursday and most of Friday...

The roads by my house still aren't clear yet. I don't know what the ***** they're doing, but I'm NOT happy as I watch my tax dollars NOT being spent

Glad I don't work weekends

Followup. Drove all day on roads that had the snow removed. Some snow, some ice, car handled magnificently. I have LM25's.

WANT AN IS

I am from Northbrook, which I hear got a lot of snow, but I am away at school in Peoria. We only got a couple of inches last night. My BMW 328 (not stock, think M3) with blizzak snow tires is great in the snow! I was wondering if the snow wheel/tire combo I have on my 328 will fit the is350? Anyone know???

Bichon

Which do you have, the 17" or 18" wheels?

dkaplan435

I have the original 18" wheels. I had the dealer install the LM25's on the wheels that came w/the car

ps, As an aside, the dealer is storing my summer tires until the winters come off, and they'll do the same w/the winter tires... Good business decision, ensures that I'll come back at least twice a year for the tire exchange..
