Let it snow let it snow!
In Denver Co we got about a couple inches of snow. I must say coming from a 2011 Tundra i think the IS is better in snow then my truck! lol I love this car!!!!

Are you serious!? If so, I'm very happy, but honestly, not sure how it's possible! Did your Tundra only have rear wheel drive? Did it have poor weight distribution? Which model IS do you have? IS350 AWD F Sport? Have you changed the tires?? Thanks.

I'm dead serious. My tundra was the limited crewmax 4x4 with 35s with a leveling kit can't get much better then that. lol Yes i have the 350 AWD F sport and nope they are the all season that come with the car! i am very happy with my IS!

Happy to hear that. I am always curious to see how the 3IS perform in snow though we haven't had any real snow yet here in Toronto,

Ive been told that the IS has one of the best AWD systems available in today's market. The IS probably feels better because its less weight to tote around. A 3500lb car is a lot easier to get around than a 5100 lb truck. I also think that traction control is a huge factor as well

Glad that the AWD does well in the snow with the factory tires. We are getting up to 1/2 inch of ice followed by 5 - 8 inches of snow by Saturday. Even more snow is on the way next week. Did you use the snow mode? If so, could you tell a difference?
The IS has a low profile, so it may be difficult to avoid plowing snow and damaging the front of the car.

Hey corradoMR2, I just realized the very first 3IS I ever saw on the street might actually be your ride, given how few of them are out there especially in USB.
