It's not your car, it's your tires.

Not sure what you expected from a RWD sports coupe riding on summer performance tires. RWD + snow areas = the need to buy a set of dedicated snow tires.

It's what you pay for excellent handling and rwd.

a set of winter tires will really help, making it more driveable....however I have snow tires at all 4 corners of my Lude and have no issues in the recent snow we had in Vancouver

posts like these scare me... i dont plan on getting snow tires since i wont be driving my car from mid-dec to mid-jan. would i do ok with stockers w/ 71xx mi on them? the most ill be driving at a time is like 4 miles, at 40mph max. if i stay around 30mph, would i do ok? i'll just pull over before a hill and wait for the signal to change lol
