well, since this old thread was brought up, i would like to put my two cents in. int he snow, always drive under the speed limit, u may look like a dork and have people honking at u, but imagine how u would feel if your car is in the body shop. another thing, i suggest snow tires on all 4, reason being, for one, i work at a tire store, and i love more money, lol, but also, snow tires on the rear will help u keep from sliding on the a$$ end and will prevent accidental 360's. 4X4's are not god in the snow, they are only good for not spinning out when starting. i have a 4X4 and use it in extreme cases, which is almost all winter here. but anyways, drive safe, buy more snow tires, and watch out for everyone else, cuz they are all idiots.

Re: Surviving the snow

Don't know if it was mentioned or not but if you drive an automatic shifting into neutral when you need to brake, like going downhill or coming to a stoplight makes a big difference. If you drive a stick like I do now it's obvious we can just hit the clutch.

Re: Surviving the snow

i live in canada and winter driving is seriously all about common sense, reduce your speed accordingly when conditions dictact you to do so, its not rocket science, the roads are slick so you have to prepare for that, ice tires like the michellin x-ice as i have on my car, i mean dont get me wrong i like to do a bit of ebraking around the corners near my house but never near other cars or items that can become hazardous to my vehicles look haha. Just use your head, slow your speed, and do things almost twice as early as you normally would, slow down earlier, break for lights earlier, accelerate slower, dont be a hero because youve got a turbo and wanna be ballzy, save it for the summertime. safe driving
