I am thinking driver error on your part |
Dude, I lived in Vermont for 11 out of 14 years between when I was 16 and age 30. Trust me, I know how to drive in snow. Since I got my license, these are the cars I've owned and what type of tires on them for winter and I'll rank them in order of what performed best
1988 Acura Legend with snows (2)
1988 VW Fox with snows (5)
1982 Honda Accord with snows (1) - suprisingly better than the Acura I think due to manual transmission
1995 Ford Explorer with AT (3) - though the Explorer was #1 in deep snow
2000 Audi A6 with AS (4)
2007 Hyundai Sonata with AS (6)
I'm not thinking driver error on my part, I'm thinking arrogance on YOUR part. As you see, I've driven all kinds of cars with all kinds of tires. I've shared my experiences, I've got 16 years driving experience to base an opinion off of and I'll stick to it. FWD with snows has treated me better than AWD or 4WD with all seasons / all terrain. The only instace where that wasn't the case was the VW
I'm done arguing. Why don't you AWD drivers go take your cars out to a rally race or something instead of beating it down our throats how YOU'RE right and I or river is wrong. I'm not saying I'm right, you're wrong. Just sharing my experiences and opinion gathered from them.
