ya after i posted earlier i was gonna come back and add that no matter how good your car is in the snow, the tires are the most important....
i have been able to drive around people stuck in my integra because i spent $600 on snow tires...

only notes i have are go easy on the gas pedal on starts, the AWD doesnt kick in quite fast enough for you to tear off in a straight line while in the slushy or wet snow. on pure powder driving i didnt have any problems, even with the last set of tires being near bald on the edges and being pretty low tread (those were continental crosscontact). current tires, cooper discoverer h/t plus, look and go like tank treads. both in 255/55/18 sizing. even in the freak blizzard in the NE a couple years ago, i didnt have too hard a time driving around until my hill and the deep slush.
yea that storm

Mmmmmm...not exactly, the VX came stock from the factory with a limited slip rear differential (LSD). If yours is "open" something must have been changed before you got it, or your clutch packs may be toast...
I agree with your choice of snow tires, & would add Bridgestone Dueler A/T "REVO's" to the list...great snow tire...
I use my Terra Grapplers for winter tires & they've worked very well.
