wintertime driving 900

posted by  someone claiming to be Scott in DC on  Mon Jan 24 17:45 CST 2005 [RELATED]

My '94 940 wagon also has all-season radials (Sigma Premiere generics from Merchants Tire). I loaded three large boxes full of old books into the rear cargo area last week to put more weight over the drive wheels. I haven't experienced a bit of slipping in the two snowstorms we've had in DC over the past few days, even though my neighborhood streets haven't been plowed and are slippery to walk on, and I've seen accidents along my route to work.

Somehow we all got through the first 60 or 70 years of automotive history in the United States without benefit of front-wheel drive--or even all-season tires--in the winter. Heavy snow areas probably do need winter tires. So far in DC, I have not. Depends on where you live. Don't knock rear-wheel drive. The most expensive cars in the world still use it.
