TSX - Winter Driving

Just curious how current owners would rate standard (snow) winter driving.

Pretty good, but you'll probably want snow tires. Where are you located?

Although I recommend snow tires for driving in any snow, people still manage with all seasons up here so I think you'll be fine.

this car is very good in the winter. living in the northeast, i'd suggest getting winter tires or ultra high perf all-seasons.

i drove with oem tires and they're ok, but in heavy snow area you will see the VSA light up like a christmas tree.

The man's trying to have some foresight. Give him a break.

I live in Wisconsin, and it does fine in our winters. I haven't even changed tires yet.

After driving through an ice storm in South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, West Vriginia and Pennsylvania on stock all-weather tires, I have come to the conclusion that for that storm only it would have been worthwhile for many drivers I have witnessed along the highway to have paid the premium for winter tires than having to pay for towing and the repairs for driving themselves off the road.

Kid you not folks, if we Canadians (=experience with winter conditions) find it difficult to drive in conditions you too may have, and with regular tires, you folks have better take advantage of winter tires, because the majority of you know jack about winter driving techniques.
