who doubts these statements to try "fishtailing" themselves. But be SURE
there is no other traffic on the road, keep your speed low, and start any
maneuver slowly until you know what to expect.





Never had a FWD and most likely never will.
I dont care what that guy says...if your in NY/NJ and you don't at least have snow tires, dont even think about it. P.S. Pretty damn impossible for my BS elantra to fishtail!

I don't think he was saying not to use snow tires. Only that FWD has it's limitations.

Even if I had snow tires I would chance it! Just my personal opinion.
