I drove mine today for the first time in the snow with the advans and it was really hard to stop normally. Cant imagine if I had to panic stop
. It was going sideways with more than 1/4 throttle going straight. I switched the acd to snow and that made a big difference for acceleration. Im going to put my snows on tommorrow and see how much improvement there is if the snow is still on the streets.

The roads are heavily salted in CT as well as throughout the rest of the northeast.
Perhaps you meant CA and not CT?
