FX in the snow...

I have an FX35 AWD with the Sport package (20" wheels). Heard a rumor that they weren't so hot in the snow. Can anyone verify this? Is it worth it to pick up a set of snow shoes?

Thanks

Absolutely! I can't stress enough how steady the FX is in snowy conditions with a good set of snow shoes like Blizzaks. The FX 20's can be perilous especially if it is the least bit icy.

RWD + snow tires is FAR super to AWD without snow tires.

A cheap set of rims and snow tires are WELL worth the money. Your life can't be exchanged for any sum of cash... Just take off the snow tires/wheels when the snow is gone.

Thanks all. My Infiniti tech has a set of 20" Blizzaks he's selling for $500.
