Thanks for your reply. What tires would you recommend for good snow traction?

I'm new to this forum...and am trying to find out why my 2006 Lexus RX 330 AWD performed so poorly in the snow yesterday. I approached a 4-way stop very slowly....and heard this wierd noise after applying the brakes (antilock brakes??)...and continued...very slowly...through the 4-way stop. I finally was able to stop at the other side of the intersection. This was snow...not ice. My tires are Michelin M&S that came w/the vehicle. My previous vehicle was a SUV and I've never experienced this!
