Like everyone else said, with a set of snow tires you'll be good 
I was actually quite impressed with the Blizzak LM-22's that I have on my winter rims.

Better a cts in the snow than a 300c from Chrysler, trust me  My friend got ride of his 300c cuz he was always stuck in 5cm of snow | there is more than 1 reason for that...the 300/charger is horrible in the snow to start with, but have you ever looked at the tires chrysler is using? they look like plastic not rubber...HORRIBLE...
my buddy got a 05 charger 2 winters ago had almost bran new tires on it at the time, little snowfall and he couldnt get outa his driveway, we made fun of him cuz some girl we worked with had a mustng and she made it in to work fine that day lol |

I dd my CTS through snow and all.
I use the OEM 17 tires which are all season. They work quite well! Never have gotten stuck and we are talking up to 12 inches of snow in MN winters. Dedicated snow tires are of course preffered but the OEM all season work quite well if you are driving like a sane person. |

^^ Don't ever miss a chance to slide that pic in, do you?
BTW, some guy in my town has the mesh behind his sport grill painted black, and I think you need to do it. |
