No the Toyota is fully stock plus in winter I prefer not exceeding the capability of the tires, that actually is the case for the whole year round.

When it's really bad I use the Jeep due to being taller and having lockable diffs and frankly since if I get hit by someone I would not care. Even though it performs the worst in terms of limit of grip it's again, taller and stronger underside etc so it does better when the snow actually gets tall. When there is only minor snow buildup I use a car

Otherwise the LSs beat it since they have far superior tires. CC2s on the 430 are really good and the PSAS4s on the 460 and A8 both do exceptionally well for what they are. The Audi also has the edge of a killer AWD system but I hate taking any of the three out in snow. Ends up eating time getting everything clean again
