Rear Wheel Drive during winter

[andyp]

Would good quality winter tires be enough to offset the disadvantage RWD has to AWD & make a car drivable during our snowy winters? Would traction control make much of a difference?

Or is it just not a good idea regardless?

If you have RWD....i'd suggest snow tires....ive been in a car like that without snow tires and unless you know how to constantly turn yourself out of skids you should use snow tires

u should use snow tires even if u can control drifts..


360's on the highway are NOT cool man.




still tho, andy be easy on the pedal and ull be fine with snow tires. just dont gun it outta nowhere and ull maintain traction well enuff

I talked to my grandfather & he assured me it would be fine with snow tires. That's all I needed. I'm getting the IS 350.

yeah most of the time its ppl not knowing how to drive in ideal conditions, you gotta take it easy in the snow

lol iv 360'd on the highway twice the summer, maintained partial control to avoid the walls and other cars both times.. but fuck man its not a cool scenario


bahahah, Nicelook was with me one of those times, lmmmmfao

i took my 240 out during last year and had absolutely no problems at alll....... at least ones i didn't try to make

LSD+Snow tires = no trouble.
You should be fine with that IS350 though. The added TC is great.

My boyfriend has a car thats RWD, last year he drove it in the winter but this year he just bought an 97 acura to avoid the hassle.

Snow tires and your fine. I dont know if the is350 has an LSD but if you do then ur good to go.
