i put a cover over mine until spring. NO salt or sand or clinkers. But be realistic even if it has traction control with those fat tires i doubt if it has much traction in snow and ice. You want the maximum pounds per square inch on your tires for getting thru snow. With a light(3100 LBS) car and really fat tires you are going to slip and slide a lot. Just ask any corvette owner who has really fat tires. Also what to you think they have that wing for? it is to increase the weight on the rear tires. It not just for decoration. They made it fixed on the srt-6 because they didn't want to give the guys with all that HP the option of putting it down. I've had two cars that were great in the snow here in ohio. A 92 cavalier with front wheel drive and really skinny tires and a 94 caddy seville with a really heavy engine over the front wheel drive tires. The common thing is a lot of lbs per sq inch of tread surface.
