My IS350 AWD was amazing in the snow. Enjoy!

With the right tires, the AWD on these cars is pretty good. I got around fine with my GS350 AWD. Now that I have the IS-F, I wont be attempting driving in the snow, which is foretasted for us this week.

The stock Bridgestones are actually not too bad in the snow (although they are pretty crappy in every other respect). Being on the west coast, all that will melt in a few days anyway. Just be sensible when driving.

We got like a foot last week! Got thing I had my blizzaks on!

And yes, the stock Bridgestones aren't that bad in snow! I was actually surprised on how they performed couple weeks ago when we had some early surprise snow!
