I never use snow mode, and the VSC stays on for the most part. It's impossible to get stuck when its on. There was one time when I was parking my car in a fresh snow drift at work, and while I was pulling in and out of the spot (to pack the snow), the car got stuck. I had VSC off. I turned it back on and put on about 30% throttle, and the car moved forward like nothing. Gotta love winter tires and AWD! Lol

Current snowfall:
I'm glad the snow is done and over with, got sick of trying to park into a snow bank in the parking lot lol. Supposedly there is more on the way, so I'm gonna get to work on my drifting.

Which oem tires 17" all seasons did better in the snow? I have the Dunlops on our new IS-250-awd. I wanted the Michelins, but of course the 2012 we just bought had the Dunlops.
