I have been getting snow regularly all winter and have not had a problem with getting anywhere in my crossfire. I don't even have the winter tires. I am running on the standard all season continental tires but I did tweak it a little by adding 120 lbs of tube sand in the back. I do have to admit I would rather have a dedicated winter set like you though. Just cant seem to justify the cost since the all seasons do fine in the snow here.
