AWESOME Snow driving!
I have had my TCH for two weeks less than a year, and this is the first time I have gotten to drive in significant snow. This car is phenomenal in snow and crappy winter conditions! I replaced the Bridgestones with some Hankook Optimo 727 tires, so they may be part of the equation, but I cannot MAKE the car slide or drift even if I want to. This car continues to surprise and impress me! I have never been happier with a vehicle.

My Michelins couldn't make it up my friend's modestly inclined icy driveway. The driveway could only be entered from a slow speed (sharp turn) so you couldn't build up any momentum to attack the hill. His Mercedes and his wife's Suburban didn't have any problems, however.
In any event, I don't want to besmirch the TCH, so I'll blame it on a combination of tires, the entry speed and the hill.

Since I used to drive a 4x2 truck with rock-hard all-terrain tires in the snow without issue, the stock Michelins are even better.

I live in snow country. Last week we had 4 feet. I put winterforce studded snow tires on. I have two four wheel drive vehicles. My TCH performs every bit as good under almost all snow conditions! I only worry about getting high centered.

Re: AWESOME Snow driving!
Got my TCH in mid-January. The Chicago area has had a number of significant snowfalls since then and I have to say I've had no problem with my stock Michelins. Today all of the less traveled streets are snow packed and my steering assist hasn't turned on.
