slimshady2003 Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 I'm thinking about buying a GS400 and was wondering if there is anyone who has driven one in the snow with winter specific tires. If so how sketchy is it? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbsal Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 well im sure you know any rear wheel drive car is pretty bad in the snow but with snow tires and traction control its not that bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blk on Blk GS 300 Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 I would recomend to go to the dealer, express your concern, and have them SHOW you the traction control. If there is no snow out then have them take the car out (depending on where you are, they will have cars set aside for test drives that the THRASH on...at least here in Bellevue) and place the tires on different surfaces (ie gravel, dirt & pavement) turn the wheel and slam down the gas. The tires will make like a half turn, chirp letting you know it broke loose, then communicate between all four and not slide. Due to the fact that you have the wheels turned, the tires will all gradually change surfaces...I would not recomend doing this for kicks in your own ride...but that is what a dealership is for. If they won't show you...they must not have faith in Lexus and should not be selling them...go somewhere else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
