I'm in Denver, and it's rained about 6" so far this month (that's a lot of rain, and unusual for Denver). I've found that my SRT6 is difficult to drive in the rain, and I even have new Continental all-weather tires. The rear wants to break loose whenever the pavement is wet. So I can't imagine trying to drive this in the winter, and I won't. I'm sure it's possible, but I'm not going to find out.
Use the "W" option in the rain. the rear won't break loose so easy as you will now start in second gear.

My limited is a daily driver and I drove it the last thre winters in the snow. The SRT has summer tires and still, with care, one can navigate snowy roads. Hell, we bought it in February in a Northern Indianna blizzard

I would imagine hilly terrain might negate that idea for snow, but rain,,,,,,?

Metro Detroit is fairly level and ought to be reasonably clear of snow, on the main roads anyway, in winter.
