Rear wheel drive is not deadly in the snow. I have ice and snow here from October and sometimes into May which is more than half the year. I would take a rear wheel drive with blizzaks over front wheel drive with Blizzaks anytime. We get over 300 inches of snow up here by Lake Superior and many nights colder than 30 below zero not including the wind chill. Ice and snow is what I drive in most of the year and have never had a problem with any of my rear wheel drive vehicles. The one I drive the most is a 2001 S-10 2WD pickup with manual transmission and have no problems with the blizzaks and no weight in the back except some snow. It's mostly about driving skill, being aware of conditions and your vehicles capability more than anything when it comes to rear wheel drive. If you have problems with rear wheel drive and you even have Blizzaks then you are lacking in one of the above mentioned areas.
