Just went thru my first snow fall with my G35 and I'll be honest I was scared at first to drive to work.. My road wasn't even plowed that morning.. after digging her out and getting out of driveway, I was very impressed. Had no issues what so ever. Might sound crazy but handled just as well as my wife's Mountaineer.

WOW

this car handles extremely well with winter tires. Anyone else like to get out and have fun in the snow?

Ill have to try those out next year...got stuck at work today...tried getting up a hill for an hour...gave up and left my car there

I have all season tires on my 20 inch rims and I live on the back roads that get little to no salt during snowy days and my Falken PT-722 All Season tires along with the VDC did the job with no problem.

good stuff guys, glad to hear every is safe especially with the snow and crazy temps lately. I got each winter force tire for about 88 per tire so it was a steal i couldn't believe it!!!

Own a 2004 S4 and previously owned a 2004 g35 coupe. Gotta say the g was more fun in the snow with the snow tires. Yeah the audi plows through everything but where's the thrill of possibly getting stuck or sliding all over the place?
