Tires actually hVe plenty of tread. What I found was that I was having issues mostly starting off, not stopping, turning or weaving.... So now in snow I go to MDM setting and it's massively better. DSC was just getting to much involved in stopping the wheel spin. That said, I don't like driving it in the winter...
