Just took it up to S.Lake Tahoe and was storming.... LOVED the car and the handling!

BTW RIMS and Tires are for sale (have less than 1K on them) (no TPMS included) $1700
--these are replicas, but the best quality i've seen!!!

Hey, I just ordered my 2011 sport activity with the 20inch rims like you have. Everyone is telling me Im gonna be lost in the snow with the stock tires. Yours look really good and look like the performance tires. If so how did it handle in the snow?

They handle OK. Not great. You can def move around but are nothing compared to snow tires. I mean theyr the complete opposite being summer performance tires haha.

Just be smart driving. Just bc you have AWD doesn't mean you can brake faster. You can still get around with X drive but if you have snow for a while or have the spare $ I would def invest In a winter tire set. Or even a set of 19" with winter tires and keep the 20" for when they're no more snow.

Hi actually these are all season tires, and handled ok. Of coarse you cant break or accelerate in snow like on a regular road, BUT it is much better than i expected. Sometimes its even fun to drift on it if you go into a turn (when nobody around lol ) But yes, I loved driving it in snow, a lot more fun then regular road. But you have to drive safe and watch other people more than yourself
