Driver ability= crashability

Ha...yeah ground clearance is not a problem if you don't mind ripping your tranny cooling duct off all the time and watching your front lip spoiler plow snow! Although you are right, if the plow trucks have made a pass its not a problem 99% of the time. But if you are occasionally too lazy to clear the driveway in a few feet of snow (ahem, me), then it can be an issue.

06Proteus - I think you will be pleasantly surprised at how good your X will go in the snow with that tire combination. It should dominate the powder better than your Subie did.
