It's the "trifecta" of abs disabled.

BRAKE, DSC, ABS.

This series of X doesn't have limited slip and relies entirely on abs for wheel spin control.

If you never drive on snow you'll probably be ok other than wet leaves which can be literally life threatening.

When my ABS disabled on me, it almost sent me into a curb less than a mile later.

The problem is the easiest wheel/s to spin will and if both wheels from one axle spins or worse, skid from engine braking, it'll send that axle to the curb due to the crown of the road.

We've been driving cars for over a century, 80% of that without abs so if you know how to drive without abs, the most important thing, to know when engine braking is causing a skid on snow and to put in neutral to stop the skid, (or live where there's no snow) you'll be fine another ten years.
