I pulled my 2016 Legacy off the road onto a dirt parking lot covered with snow and, presumably, slush. (Here in the Nawtheast we got a few inches of snow, sleet, and freezing rain overnight Monday.) That mess didn't feel good under the tires, so I tried getting out of it -- and couldn't. Forward a bit, shift to reverse and go back a bit, but no way was I getting any traction. I was both frightened and embarrassed: this shouldn't be happening to a Subaru! With its wheels spinning, I saw the icon light come on for Vehicle Dynamics Control, and remembered what I had read in the 10,000 page manual (yes, I read the manual): TURN IT OFF under these conditions. I turned it off, and with only *some* difficulty I got the car back up onto the clear road surface. Yikes! I won't be doing that again.
The tires are stock Goodyear Eagles. I know, not the best.
