The 2008 GXP is the worst handling vehicle I've ever driven in the snow. Even with front wheel drive the extra wide tires recommended for the car are horrible. I actually bought new all season Eagles shortly after purchasing the vehicle, but still get horrible traction. I threw 4 sandbags in the trunk which seemed to stabilize the vehicle overall, but this is still one better left in the garage in bad weather. With the standard front wheels of 18" X 8" and rear wheels of 18" X 7", and a recommended tire size of 255-45-18 front and 225-50-18 on the rear, I'd have a better chance of floating on water then getting traction in the snow. I tried to downsize my wheels and tires to something narrower, but couldn't come up with anything with the same wheel diameter. With the computerization I think I'd be alright as long the finished tire heighth was the same. I would sure take any tips or advice on where to go from here.
