No problem with my 2008 LaCrosse Super (although my wife thinks I'm a damn fool for driving a brand new car on snow and ice covered roads). It has the 18" Michelon all-weather tires. I've never turned off the traction control, and that might be the main reason I've never slid, skidded, or gotton stuck in the snow.
