I live in Northern Ohio and I have driven my ti in the snow for about 5-6 years now. I have survived winters without snow tires, but I have quite a bit of experience driving in the snow from growing up skiing in Idaho. I grew up driving a Jetta in the snow with four studded snow tires on it. I have found that with my pirelli snow tires on the ti, it handles just as well as most cars out there. One plus is that if you enjoy shooting a rooster tail of slush and snow on tailgaters the rwd ti works much better than the fwd VW. The VW just shoots it all over itself.
