Default Re: Winter driving related question

Trapped here in Ohio with LOTS of Christmas shopping left to do...yesterday was my first experience on snow/ice. The Crossfire is a sled...was going 25 on a straight stretch of highway when I almost did a 360. Luckily I knew how to steer my way clear, but I immediately headed off the highway.

When I got home, it took me 40 minutes to get into the garage ... had to back in to use the rear wheel drive to pull be up the driveway.

Interesting experience since my CAR SALESMAN said that this car sits on a German body and the Germans know how to build a car to drive in snowy conditions. What was I thinking???? Believe a car salesman????

Luckily I live very close to work and I've got to get some snow tires on order ...$1K for a leased car. What a huge expense, but hopefully worth it. ANY SUGGESTIONS ON BRAND AND WHO TO ORDER FROM????
