I have had some experience with driving is snow but it was city driving on the flatlands of Virginia Beach. I now live in the Sou Cal mountains and on a fairly steep street. Yesterday I watched my neighbor with a Ford SUV that was front wheel drive only fail to get moving on the street in front of our homes. The street was plowed but still had a couple of inches of snow on the asphalt.He was just getting front wheel spin and would slide backward if he took his foot off of the brake. He ended up backing into his driveway and calling it a day until we get more snow melt.
For my CX 5 GT-R with all wheel drive, would the correct procedure be to (1) turn off the traction control and (2) put the transmission in manual mode and shift to start out in 2nd gear rather than 1st and let the available torque get me slowly moving ?
I can sure see where chains would be an asset but so far the question regarding which brand of chains are compatible with the GT-R and Signature seems to still be unanswered.
