i'm not advocating driving on them. i fully agree with having winter tires, i'm just pointing out that given the correct technique, you can still maintain control in less than ideal traction conditions, even without awd. that doesn't mean that you should drive a on summers on snow and ice putting yourself and other people at risk. ever driven on a skidpad? same concept.
