Sigh — another two-wheel-drive idiot tries to leave the house in four-wheel-drive weather. When will laws be passed banning non-4x4s from the roads during and 30 days after snowfalls?
Pshh.. Drove on worn summer-tires last year all winter long in my two-wheel drive car, in the snow. Never hit anything. Just drive slow and you’re fine, with or without chains… Then again, I don’t live in Canada… (Netherlands)
4x4s are not required to drive on icy, snow covered roads. Being a competent driver is. Should be a separate driving course/licensing for winter driving. If you can’t competently drive a Firebird with all season tires on a snowy road, you have no business on the road in any vehicle whatsoever.

or when some from the US tries to drive in Canada.. I never had a problem “two wheel” driving in the worst Canadian weather..
I live in the South and I can drive in snow no problem. Chains are very useful, and it’s amazing how many people down here don’t have them.

dry + pavement + breaks = ok
wet + snow+ brakes = not ok
2wd rear < 2 wd front < 4wd < snow mobile
Lesson over. Drive safe
Agreed. An itty bitty pickup with no weight in the back and two wheel drive is my commute car. Great fun to show off to overrated 4×4 nonsense.
pfff…. someone must have let a quebecer loose during a snow storm
People who suck at driving will suck 4×4 when they buy one.
