AWD vs snow tires!!!
OK so this weekend's snow gave me the opportunity to drive both my car with new snow tires and Jill's Subaru with AWD and all season tires.
I must say I think the snow tires help more than AWD. The Subaru has no problem getting going and I can really feel it sending the power around to the wheels that grip. Problem is the brakes are just normal car brakes and they do a terrible job slowing the car in relation to how well it accelerates. The snow tires on the other hand are grippy both in moving forward and stopping the car. I had trouble getting the ABS to kick in and loved the rooster tail when the tires are pulling the car forward.
I know others have Subarus and snow tires what do you all think? Personally I think next year the Subaru will be getting a set of snow tires and wheels for the ultimate snow machine!!!
