All wheel drive vs. front wheel drive SUV's

No, not at all. Winter tires are best for winter--they are made of different compounds, the combination of which is dedicated to the rigors of cold temperatures.

Summer tires are made of different compounds, the combination of which is dedicated to performance in summer temperatures and lack of snow and ice.

All-season tires are a compromise, although getting better all the time.

Winter tires aren't just a matter of the tread pattern.

You may have that opinion, but you'd be wrong.

Seems clearly that you hold a minority opinion here!

Oh, does it "clearly" seem that way? On ice and snow, Winter tires are better than all-seasons, obviously.

Well, it's true that people are stupid.

Doesn't surprise me one bit.

Of course, the laws of physics don't care about majority opinion.

while it might be a minority opinion, it is not a wrong opinion, I have AWD and I drive a mb which I put on winter/snow tires on, I feel safer in the MB with snows on than I do in my awd cars. I have spun out in awd cars, I've never spun out in the mb with the snows on

The original statement, to which I took exception, was that snow tires on FWD was superior to AWD with all-seasons.

as long as he has the snow tires on all 4 wheels snow tires are always better than all seasons

I used to have a Prelude with Nokian snows, and it was incredible in the snow.

You take exception to it out of your ignorance of the facts.

Try the Nokian WR all season passenger tire. It's the only one with the snowflake designator for winter driving--and I have to say, it's an amazing all-season tire. Quiet in the summer and no doubt a Nokian tire with the snowflake come winter storms, from snow to slush.

I guess there is little point debating anything with you. Into my killfile you now go -- feel free to do likewise. :-)

a) I said you were ignorant of the facts, which is true.

b) Anyone who feels a compelling need to declare his killfile entry to the world, has problems.

Kill files are for losers who can't stand the truth.

Some of us have pink flamingos or birdbaths as lawn ornaments. FWD cars is a tad unusual. :-)
