But we do own a home in the mountains that we go to 1-2 times a month, and in the winter there can be some very bad road conditions. For this reason, I have decided against the sport package but now I am questioning my decision. Is there a reason to not get the sport package due to weather conditions, or does it not make a difference? Are the tires on the sport package still decent tires for snow?

Thanks in advance for your advice.
