Spok;

I have to agree totally with the other responders...with just winter shoes all the way around (unstudded, Gislaved, or Vredesteins in 165SR-15 to be specific), and maybe a hundred pounds of extra ballast in the trunk, I can run cicles around just about all other vehicles including FWD and AWD (especially those on their roof!)...until the snow is so deep, that the undercarriage lifts the tires from the ground...I don't know what your Islandic friend is used to or what he thinks is better...I'd be interested...maybe he likes more ground clearance!

The other posters also touched upon the critical issue: Subjecting your car to the salt, and worse, the calcium-cloride in use on the roads...rust never sleeps!

Cheers
