I have cousins still living in Central NY and the ones with RWD pickups still drive with them. If I lived there with any RWD vehicle Iād probably get them also.
I drove on studded tires in Sweden in the winter. They can pull nearly 0.8 Gs cornering on an icy surface. Makes traction like driving on wet asphalt with all season tires. Winter tires alone will pull nearly 0.5 Gs on glare ice. Better in a couple inches of snow.
We never use studded tires in Central Maryland. They are illegal except in the 5 westernmost counties and can only be mounted on the vehicle from November through March.
Just through weight in the back of the RWD truck or car and they do rather well on ice and snow⦠well not up north deeeep snow, but at least up to 6-9" of snow⦠lol
But I drove RWDās on ice back in the 90ās when we had a lot of ice storms, without issues, just add weight, will travelā¦
And the 80ās was the best music and cloths⦠lol
