We all could be better and SAFER drivers. I just got my car back this morning from an accident which happened late October. I still often think about how I lost control of the vehicle and caused a ton of damage to it. I never broke anything or got in trouble as a youth. I guess I'm making up for it in my early 30's Anyway, I suggest everyone take steps to be a little bit safer out there including having the proper vehicle setup for expected conditions.

 

Actually, when I said that I meant even with snow tires I'm still concerned about others hitting me. I got it set up with a bunch of weight in the trunk and good snow tires and finally became confident with the G in the snow and then I realized I still felt very much on edge driving with other cars sliding all over the place and numerous close calls unrelated to me losing traction.....hence the G now sits in the garage during snow and the beater comes out for justification 1 of 3 (the other 2 being utility vehicle and gas saver). Plus I didnt really like using my front bumper as a snow plow.

But yeah, snow tires are a must if you dont have an X. I found it quite gratifying to have the rwd G set-up to handle snow when everyone else was in SUVs and pick-ups and it was obvious many of them were white knuckling it.
