Got to try my 2010 MCS in snow for the first time today! We got 1/8" of ice, then sleet, and 4" of snow on top last night. After digging out, I went for a spin just for fun.
I still have the stock Continental all seasons on her. After testing out the traction and braking on my street, I headed out.
Car did great! Better than my Envoy on Yoko M+Ss. Drove onto the plowed banks, stopped, and restarted several times. Went off in the grass (on purpose) to try it out. Same great traction.
The roads are still untreated in residential areas and the main road was hardpack and ice. Got into the boost several times as well as hard on the brakes. So far, I don't see any reason for me to get winter tires in our area.

Even on bald tires, it's still a snowmobile!
