Winter tires go a long way. I think their real point is that a Blizzak equipped 370 still isn't a Wrangler by any stretch of the imagination. Deep snow is still going to get you, salt/calcium will still cause rust, and who wants to lose their pretty sports car because someone else who can't drive in snow slid into it? Mine stays parked in the winter. YMMV
