Default ect snow

You must first engage ect snow then you may have more control... One does not simply walk to Mordor.

ECT button in 2004 RX 330 I live in CT. My first year owning an RX. We have gotten some good snow and ice. These are on rails in snow! Amazing vehicle. Safe. But it grabs the road very tight. I don't use the ECT but it works. It feels like softer throttle response definitely starts in 2nd gear. Love this suv. Bought 9 months ago with 78k on it. Made in 🇯🇵Japan. Great quality.

I’ll second That One !!
Michelin xice work Wonders even with 1/4 tread on icy rural NB roads ! I ran them all year round on a couple of my pontiac montanas (god bless GM )and they performed and wore well even in the heat of summer. Now that I have the Lexus I intend to do just that especially at 67 I don’t stray far by car ! 🚗 At 127.70 to change tires twice a year it makes financial sense to stick with one set of tires !!
