Well I am sincerely surprised. 10 to 12 inches of snow was dropped on us overnight and I was wondering how the P5 would handle itself in this weather. I have 14" wheels with Yokohama A720 Guardex tires and I am very satisfied. The car feels VERY safe and solid, and you can easily avoid obstacles. Other drivers were going 40mph and I was EASILY going 55.

I can't remember who it was that was a bit nervous about his wife driving in the snow, but I can assure you this car is great. I drove in the white s*** yesterday coming back from Ottawa in my wife's Civic (equiped with the same tires) and it was frightening, no weight and very little steering response.

I think I'll have more fun than expected this winter ;)
 
I still have the stock rims and tires on, they're okay in the snow, but I wouldn't trust them once the temp really drops... :D gotta get emm off ASAP, but it's like a 6 hour wait at canadian tire etc.... I think I'll just do it myself :p
