My experience today was not bad as far as car performance. Without any sudden movements and keeping a steady pace I had little to complain about. some fishtailing on stop and goes.)
I found that by turning off the traction control it was eazier to free the car than with it on.
the wiper blades ice up VERY fast and are nearly useless
I went with the Good Year F1 A/S all the way around and have no complaints. My experience in the Kansas/Midwest ice/snow storm is to not make sudden movements and steady pace. The car did alright but I was only comfortable doing 45mph on I-70 from Topeka to Kansas City (toll road). Passed a lot of accidents (to include 2 semi-trucks).
My OEM blades did not hold up well and I replaced them with the Boch Icons the next day. They work very well. Add in some Rain X making sure you have the rear window treated and your visibility is grand. Not sure how Rain X holds up to freezing rain though...
