You missed why I stay home. If I had any of my past cars or trucks, I would have snow tires and would drive in the snow. I actually like playing in the snow and miss having a rear wheel drive during those times. The point is you MUST have more ground clearance that the snow and enough weight to keep the car grounded in order to get traction no matter what tires you have.
