Replying to: shipo (Feb 28, 2007 12:55 pm) Unfortunately I think the REAL impact of AWD and electronic traction control, et al, is to create a generation of drivers who think they don't have to pay attention to road conditions. The vast majority of cars I see off the road in a ditch during snow/ice conditions are AWD SUV's whose drivers think that just because they can accelerate better, they can also stop and turn better than "regular" cars. Too bad for them there exist the basic laws of physics.... Replies to this message: shipo (Mar 01, 2007 1:33 pm)

Replying to: k9budd (Mar 02, 2007 1:24 pm) The advice you've been given about using winter tires on all four corners is absolutely correct. ABS or no ABS, it doesn't matter. If you were to mount winter rubber on the rears only, your car would only have decent traction back there, condemming your car to terminal understeer and a horrible ability to stop once you've gotten yourself going.   Best Regards, Shipo Replies to this message: brit5 (Jul 14, 2008 2:11 pm)

Replying to: shipo (Mar 02, 2007 1:46 pm) Ditto re winter tires -- they make all of the difference -- no other factor weighs as heavily in winter driving -- drivetrain layout included. My 05 300C is a wonder on winter tires & a beast without them (the Conti's are just plain horrible). It is a terrific car on snow.   BTW -- ALL 300 models come with ABS in Canada -- it must be a US thing to have it optional. Similarly there are no 2.7 300's in Canada (good thing) -- but there is plenty of snow & the 300 loves it with the right tires.
