The tire thing is true, but that's true with any car you buy. Put some summer-only performance tires like the RE070 on a 5,000lb SUV and it will still suck in the snow. You have to either move to all seasons or have a set of winter tires. I have blizzaks and it's actually a challenge to lose traction in most situations. It handles the snowcaine better than our LR2 or our GLK and they all get blizzaks in the winter. You're right though about keeping in mind tires are always the limiting factor. The stock tires are absolutely terrifying in the snow.
