My X handles the snow better than any other vehicle I've owned. Goes right up icy hills without even hesitating.

Definitely if you have RWD. I have crappy generic all-seasons on mine and it's still great.

To be honest, my momentum only got me out of the driveway, and I got stuck in the street. After about 15 minutes I made it to that spot you see on the side of the street.

Rode with the guy I rent from in his Ford Edge to work lol

Really? I am running all seasons. They were free :-) I was just seein if I could squeak by on 'em until spring. I plan on buying some rays 19's when it warms up, then once cold weather hits again I'll put snow tires on these wheels.

I know my car has some miles on it, but it's still running strong (knock on wood), and most of the stuff I'm doing to it can transfer over to another sedan.

I road in a guys sedan with some Michilin X-ICE snow tires and that thing wa sin snow up to the bottom and it kept moving. The few rides iv taken in that car is what ultimatly made me decide to stick with RWD instead of getting AWD.

That and i wanted to prove to my dad it isn't 'worthless'. My dad is the type that says AWD with bald tires will be better in snow than RWD with snow tires though.

Amen brother. My dad's the same way. When I bought the car he was PISSED at me for the entire night because I bought RWD. (I owned an Audi before)

They can think that, but at the end of the day, their AWD isnt gonna make them stop or turn any better. And to be perfectly honest, my moms truck and my dads 08 G35x SUCK in the snow. They move, but it isnt pretty in deep stuff. They really need to rely on this front wheels to move.
