No one said RWD+SCS was fine in the snow when you have summer tires on.




A RWD car with snow tires on will drive much better in the snow than a car with AWD and summer tires.

Guy was probably going to fast. People need to realize that no matter what car you are driving, you can still lose traction. Slow down and drive cautiously in snow and you will be fine in 95% of the cars on the market.

No asshole. They're Pilot Sports that came with the car.

That has nothing to do with RWD; Pilot Sports should not be driven in snow on ANY car.

Doesn't look like you would get much snow traction...

Not worth a comment, but this accident had nothing to do with the type of car but more like going to fast for the turn. And he had the stock tires on it which aren't meant for that weather

Rather than allow this to develop into another flame war
I'm closing it now.
Goat/Torquie, don't you get tired of trolling?
