Yeah I was worried about that, but I may be able to borrow a family member's Chevy Malibu when it snows. I have one now and it does ok in a few inches of snow. Plus I drive a few miles on major roads and then the rest on I-95 so at least they'll be plowed (or what PennDot calls plowing). I'm guessing low profile summer tires don't even like a little slush do they? Worst case I'll just avoid driving it til the roads are clear.
A friend with an M3 was driving from north Jersey back to the Westchester, NY area during our October 29 snow storm. He had summer tires on an said he spent half the time going sideways!
