Thanks man!
We actually just got in at the in-laws' place. It took us about 2 hours to go ~125 KMs.
Everyone has their own experiences with their cars/tires, but if that's the way the P6s handle a winter storm in the North... yup, they can stay. The Duratec had plenty of power, more than the SPI by far. It was lighting the TCS in every gear if I got into it, but driven properly we made it all the way here @ 60-70KM/H without incident.
My one complaint? I'd forgotten how bad the factory wipers ice up. I had to stop like 3-4 times along the way just to clear the underside of the blades where the ice builds up as you drive.
I actually tugged it back onto the road, twice, at speed where idiot 4x4 drivers and opposing traffic had careened to either side for whatever reason. I just lifted a tad, steered, and up it came... no sliding/fishtailing/nothing.
2 thumbs up for a great setup (and especially TCS)!
