Last week during the snow storm... My car bottomed out multiple times... The factory recommended conti winter contact ts810 is what I'm running on.... Rear wheel.

Anyone else experience this?

This is the first time I drove in snow..

I put on a set few years ago on my TSX and I ditched them after 1 season. I am scare to drive the car even on rain! And now it is with Blizzark and is day & night different.

Usually 'bottoming out' refers to the suspension hitting the bump stops... maybe I'm missing something in your post, but what does bottoming out have to do with driving in the snow?

Maybe the wrong term...

I was driving.... And car got stuck.... Got out to see.... It was as if the car was on a lift...

I had to dig out the snow from underneath to get the car going and over the hump

You meant the snow thick enough to lift up your car? is your car too low? The snowstorm we have last week wasn't that bad! My rwd 335 has no problem driving around and I am on a set of 4yr old blizzark WS-70. But mine got stuck when we have over 6 inch of snow. And my 335 is lowered with 0.5 finger wheel gap.

Ohhh, okay I got it.
I have an xi, but my previous car was a lowered like crazy and I never had that issue. I'd have thought your bumper would just plow the snow out of the way.

Is one of your skid plates loose/hanging down and catching the snow or something?

Thanks guys.... Its obviously time to upgrade them winter rubber.

My iS is stock on 17s. I can't go through that again... Was so embarrassing...

I live in the snow belt so I probably got more than most of you without the city style clean up

Lol that storm was pretty decent.

I just run all seasons and call a taxi if the snows really bad and I really need to go somewhere. Saves the car from all that salt and risk of fender benders. It docent snow that much in Toronto and the roads are usually clean pretty quick. Think last storm the plowers must have slept in.

My car is lowered. I just use the bottom of my front bumper as a snow plow
