Taking the G to Lake Tahoe

I'm going to Tahoe in March. Are my stock tires ok for the drive up or do I need snow tires? I might just rent a car haha. Thanks!

^^^ yeah rent car I go to tahoe at least 4 times every winter to snowboard at heavenly I've never taken the g and wouldn't in the winter. If it's not snowing when your going you'd prob be ok but I wouldn't risk it. Rent a 4wd

I'm going in mid-March for a ski trip. We're either taking the GFs car if it's not snowing or renting something AWD if it is. Don't take the G.

I hope that wasn't you going up last Sunday. There was a LP g37 coupe non-sport holding up traffic on my way up. I saw him try to take off from the chain line and he was still spinning the rear.

On the way back home the same G was backing up traffic going through the twisties on the hills.
