    Yeah, we have a HUGE parking lot here at work. Several times in the winter I purposefully throttled the VX into a spin. With the AWD however, donuts are not as easy as you would think. Normally I can get the VX to slide sideways through the snow. But getting that full whip-around is tough.

    Anyway, those few moments where I slid in the VX were the closest I have ever come to wrecking her. The worst was on a semi-steep grade, going down, and some schmuck pulled a turn in front of me. I was only going maybe 20-25 but the VX broke right out as soon as I touched the brake. I had to steer and slide her into the curb to keep from slamming into the dickbag who pulled out in front of me. That SUCKED. I swear, some people HAVE NO CLUE how to drive safely in the snow.

    Thankfully now though, my VX will be hibernating for most of the winter while I tear up the unplowed Reno roads in my Trooper.

    These tires seem to do okay in a lil bit of snow!
