Just Had My X-fire Out Today In Chicago. 7+ Inches Of Snow. I Have Conti's On This Car All Around, 16,000 Miles. The Car Handled Very Good For A Rear Wheel Drive Car. Breaking Was Excellent, As Was Steering And Control Of The Car. Traction Was A 7 Out Of 10. I Drive Agressive, With Traction Control Off, Car Was Great. 80 Lbs Of Sand In Rear Of Car Helped.
