Do you know something I don’t, nascar? 4WD doesn’t help me at all on ice.

Wasn’t an ice age the big concern before the ‘’Earth Day’’ movement started? I guess they’ve come full circle.

Yes on ice it’s all about the tires.

I recommend Bridgestone Blizzaks.

"Do you know something I don’t, nascar? 4WD doesn’t help me at all on ice."

I drive on ice over mountain passes 5-6 months of each year (real mountains). Real four-wheel drive (not so-called all-wheel drive), adds much to stability and control on ice over two-wheel drive. I often drive 65 mph on iced, two-lane highways with directional tread tires made for four-wheel drives on ice and snow, when many of the vehicles from cities are in ditches and canyons.

Hardened ice dunes on uncleared roads can sometimes be driven over with a very lightweight four-wheel drive vehicle (must have rollover protection, tools for vehicle extraction, much water and good extreme cold weather gear including goggles).
