I have read a lot of posts with 350 getting stuck in snow this winter. I understand summer tires are too soft to run year round and most summer tire tread patterns do not promote snow or wet traction, but if you are not swapping out wheel sets for the winter, I would like to recomend the Continental Extreme Contacts. I ran them all year on my gen1 with no issues and thank God I never became stuck. I now have them on my AWD and love them again. never had my stability or trac come on since i had them installed 3 weeks ago. Even with AWD, the OEM Dunlops would occasionaly activate the TRAC and STB.
I say we meet sometime in the first week of April. What would be a good location? Schaumburg seems like a middle ground for a lot of other car clubs.

Thanks for the recommendation, but I got stuck when backing up into the storage garage in December. Irony defined! My car has been in storage for the whole winter. She will be coming out of hibernation in 2 weeks. Cross my fingers all potholes are fixed and no snow.
