Just brake a little earlier.
Or maybe it's the Blizzaks. I don't have trouble braking from 10.
With Chicago winters (and Peoria winters when school is in session, they don't have many plow trucks down here), I have to say, the XF will do quite well with only a good set of A/S's. I remember the original set, the Contis, did quite well. The Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus's I bought after that weren't so good and I got stuck about 3 times that winter. Now I carry a small shovel in the back. Doing any of these other things would help, but for me, they aren't necessary. Usually if the snow's bad enough that I can't go anywhere in my car, neither can anyone else.
