Got our first snow today here in the STL area and I was impressed how well my Marauder did on the snow covered roads. Traction control kicks in fairly early and I turned it off and did some nice slides on some roads. Had no trouble getting into my driveway. Now I just gotta get all that nasty salt off of it.

Be safe in the slick stuff guys

if ya ever do decide to get snow tires, I highly recommend that you buy four Michelin Arctic Alpines. That's what 20 of us on the board have just done, and incase you haven't read my posts about these tires last week, let me tell you, they're the best snow tires I've ever had. Last week during all the snow we had, my Marauder made it up hills that I've never been able to make it up w/any rear wheel drive car, and one hill that I couldn't even make it up w/a front wheel drive car a few years ago.;)

And my Marauder doesn't even have traction control........

Thanks for the tip Billy GMan, I was considering looking into snow tires. I am also considering upgrading the brakes on my MM. Anyone got an advice on good brake upgrades?
