Just don't use summer tires. I was in all-seasons and played around in the snow, purposely trying to slide out and the traction control did a good job. 24MPH was a simple task. I drove on the highway at the speed of the rest of traffic also with no problems... just don't do anything abruptly. When you say 20s people automatically think summer tires (OEM setup) when you can very well change them out.
