Stacia, thanks for the feedback on the Blizzak tires, I too have the same issue- Ive had my IS250 for about 9 months now and yesterday was my first time driving with snow and ice on the ground, it was scary at first, it did ok for it being a rear wheel drive, but I was still scared. I will definatly look into the Blizzaks, as im sure we have much more snow coming our way! :)
