Keep in mind this was with stock Bridgestones. I am sure with snow tires that it would be fine, no worse than a BMW or other RWD cars.

I only bought my 370 in April '12 so I haven't had it out for any inclement weather yet. Instead of snow tires I'm just looking to buy a crappy $500 pickup or SUV.
I see you're in NOVA. Check the link in my sig!
