what winter tires do you use ?

[why?]

Yea, and it would increase the accidents because people would think,"I have winter tires, yes I can't see 10 feet in front of me, but that doesn't matter." Just like they do now when they have awd or 4wd vehicles. Seriously more idiots in awd and 4wd vehicles get in accidents then people in 2wd cars, because people in 2wd cars use their brains.

That is so true! During bad storms and terrible roads, it's the 4WD/AWD's that are in the ditch!

Thats how my Sedan 2009 passed out hit by a huge fearless pickup at night in a snow storm. I was 3min from a sure death (i got out). I hate pickup drivers. There is thoses days that you truly should have stay home.

That point is true as well.

These SUV and truck drivers don't understand the fundamentals of TRACTION.

Even with AWD or 4WD, it is still the tires/rubber used that give you traction.

Many of them are running worn all-seasons and think they can still speed in snow.

The main advantage in AWD is more grip when accelerating from a stop. As well a bit more stability to stay in a straight line. But again, winter rubber is still the most important part of traction.

If you're cruising down the highway in snow, it is the tires that keep your vehicle planted. Of course, if you're comparing specifically to RWD, then yeah, the possibility of losing control multiplies (fishtailing).

Stopping has nothing to do with having AWD or just 2WD. Again, it is the rubber. This is a huge point speeding SUV's forget.
