x-drive + snows = *tank*
I just had to try out the XI in 6 inches of snow today with snow tires on.
I turned off the DTC for max fun. It was a tank! (rock) Last year I ran all seasons. There is no comparison. |

I love it when rednecks in their trucks assume that I`m rear wheel drive and try to pass me in the turning lane . OR!!!!OR!!!! When I`m in turning lane and I pass a redneck on a straight!!!! Best feeling ever.

My kuhmo all seasons have performed perfectly in the few inches of snow around here and even going up a steep hill covered in ice. I cant imagine how great the blizzaks must be.

LoL we got 3 times the snow here in WI. We got 17 1/4 inches of snow from last night to tonight, I have the same tires(ws60's) but my Xi is still in the garage because the sh!t we got is DEEP! So to be honest I didn't even attempt it.

contemplating getting some blizzaks...how does it do on icy roads though? there was definitely a lot of skidding on the way to work today on the iced up roads (all seasons).

When I pulled out of my garage this morning I had a big smile on my face
I didnt get a chance to put the xDrive and winter tires to the test because traffic was bad but what I did experience was awesome. I may look for an icy parking lot tonight and get a feel for the capabilities of the car.
