Even just driving a front wheel drive car w/LSD makes a huge difference in the snow. FWD w/LSD and ABS is where it's at for snow driving if you can't get 4WD or AWD.

werd. when i had snow tires on my srt4, it was fun to go tear up the snowy roads of montana. also the fun thing was that you're able to have more fun with the e brake than most awd cars cause you don't have to worry about a center differential. 180 degree turns in a fwd in the snow is always fun, hence the saying Fun Wheel Drive.... laugh.gif a lot of how well a car does in the snow is not only tires, but driver experience and ability in the snow. i would have just as much fun sliding my car around corners as friends in wrx's did, then again i had been driving in the snow for 11.5 years at that point.
