^ Yes you would need snow tires to drive any where with a RWD. You should do some research that those summer tires will not get your car to work with unplowed roads!

DO NOT drive a rwd 335 without snow tires anywhere in unplowed snow. You would be risking your life and anybody with you in the car. It drives like the wheels are on sideways, seriously! any input on breaks or gas at any speed causes slip.

Get snows! I tried driving my car in the winter the first year I got it with Summer's and the car was a nightmare to drive! I just put on a new set of Blizzaks this morning, can't wait for the snow now!!
