I always drive with the snow mode ON when there is snow outside. It tremendously helps with the dedicated snow tires ofcourse! As for the so called "high Performace" snow tires, I definitely did not want them because those tires are for moderate snow conditions in where atmost 4 inches of snow per storm. I bought the "studless" snow tires, meaning these tires are the closest to being studded for more traction. In my opinion, why would you want "high performance" snow tires when its winter outside? Is it neccessary to drive really hard outside when its snowing? I wanted the most available traction I can, since this is my daily driver, rain, snow, and shine !

 

I'm West Hartford, CT.

We don't take the SC out in the snow, that's what I have the 4x4 and IS250AWD for. Although if the temp is over 35, I do have the top down.

A friend of ours has 4 snows on her SC and is happy with it in the snow.
