I drive mine in the winter...if its gonna get deep snow I'll throw on the winters tires in the back...otherwise the all season khumos I had did pretty good up to 6". I'd also wait to get the streets plowed if possible.

I daily drove mine last year. Had a set of 16x7 7-slots with Hankook snow tires on them. I was going to drive it again this winter but decided to take the car off the road so i can do some work on it. Ill be driving a E320 instead.

I drove mine for two winters. It ran good with the denser air. I changed the oil to a lower weight and changed the coolant so that it could handle the update NY cold temps. I'd start it and let it idle to running temp. I'd highly reccommend LM blizzaks if you do. They saved my butt a couple of times on snowy days, especially uphill battles.

Yea, im driving mine. I love driving though the snow....my car is lowered about 2", so I dont know how I am going to deal with deep snow.

I used to, but since it's pretty much track duty only now I will not be. Looking for a 968 to daily year round though.... and who am I kidding, that'll end up turbo too.

With the LSD and snow tires on all corners, this is the best rear wheel drive vehicle I’ve ever experienced. Changing lanes through snow ruts, ABS, and drifting are both controlled and fun. The only drawbacks are other drivers, deep snow, and salt. I drive one of the beaters when the snow is too deep and the salt is down.
I do put about 150lbs of sand in a cheap nylon suitcase in the back to aid in traction
