I original posted this in the Crossfire Coupe Wet weather driveing thread, but I thought that I might put me 2 cents worth in here as well about the Continentals on my XF.

We got a dusting of snow on Monday December 13th in Indy and I think every flake that hit the road turned to ice. I was quite pleasantly surprized at the handling of my XF on ice. It was as nimble as a cat (catman....nimble as a...yeah that was on purpose). One interesting note is that as I was setting absoluting still, at a 4-way stop, the traction control light would blink. Apparently my rear wheels would turn on the ice, but it did not kick-out All of the systems to keep me going straight down the road worked fine.
