Has anyone here tried driving their 3.8 through snow with Michelin CrossClimate 2s? And if so how did the car do? I’m getting a Genesis Coupe and it will need to be a daily driver. Or am I better off with dedicated snow tires that I swap with regular tires once winter is over? I live in RI and the snow here can be sporadic. I’ve been through winters with almost no snow and a few with many feet of snow. Usually the roads in my area are plowed pretty well, but I don’t want to have to worry about getting caught if a storm hits while I’m at work. I do have some experience with RWD, though it’s in the form of a school bus (my job). They generally don’t lose traction and when they do it happens really slow, but it still requires the same correction. Thanks in advance guys.

While I don't have any personal experience driving the Genesis coupe in snow, I grew up in the Midwest driving a 1973 Mercury Capri and a 1979 Chevy Monza, (both RWD), through Chicago winters. As long as the roads a plowed and salted your all seasons should get you through just fine, but dedicated snow tires on the rear will always work better, especially for those early mornings or late nights if you have to be out driving before the plows and Salt trucks are out.
For the price of a good set of snow tires, you could fine a cheap winter beater. I have bought 2 in the last few years. 1 was $1000 CAD and the other was $1200 CAD.
From Toronto, Canada here. We usually have a couple feet of snow in the winter and it usually stays. The city is usually good at plowing the major roads but it's common to drive on snow. I had a pair of worn Icept Hanooks for my first winter and it was pretty difficult on a few hills. Swapped to a new set of Michelle x-ice and it's been 10x better. Never gotten stuck since. This year I've swapped in an LSD and now I hope cornering is going to be more predictable.
