Great! Drive it every day on snow and ice. It started easily when temps were below zero. Not sure it's the best thing to do with a Jag, but when my son's WRX wouldn't start and my daughter-in-law made off with my truck; the only thing left to drive was the XJR. So far, so good!

My 2005 S-type 4.2 VDP is a daily driver. It has been doing quite well so far this winter, with the new Continental ExtremeContact DWS tires on it, along with the stability program, traction control and ABS. I mostly drive locally in northern Utah County, but I did do a round trip to SLC in the snow storm we had a few weeks ago. The car did just fine on a snow-covered freeway, with snow coming down, at speeds of 45-50 m.p.h., which was as fast as anyone was going in those conditions. I think the tires are great for all-weather traction. The grip in wet is much, much better than the grip of the mostly worn but not bald Michelin Pilot HX OE tires that were on it. I only had a bit of experience with the Pilot HX's in some snow and ice in February when I got the car and the grip was terrible. I still had an old FWD Nissan Altima with snow/winter tires mounted to get me through the worst snow left and the end of last winter. But now my only DD is the S-type with these great all-season tires. So far, so good. If we get a really huge snow dump I'll just take our 2011 Toyota Sienna with winter/snow tires to work and do the afternoon school run.
