[QUOTE="CobraBob, post: 16365762, member: 6727"] I sort of disagree. How much weight is over the drive wheels plays an important role. Case in point. My wife used to own a FWD Mazda 626. I put snow tires on all 4 wheels before the first snow for optimal traction. The first snow storm came and we got stuck going up a hill with a modest grade. That winter, driving in snow with her car was, let's just say, an adventure, even with snow tires. There just was enough weight over the drive wheels. The following year she bought a heavier FWD sedan which handled snow (with snow tires) much better in large part because there was more weight over the drive wheels. So tires are not always the most important factor. They help a lot, though. Especially when braking. [/QUOTE]
