I thought the temperature had cause your passenger window to crack. Some dedicated snow tires will work better than AWD

True That.
Can't agree with you more.
Still sort of hurts though.
It's my pride & joy!

and there's your problem....


Tires > Drivetrain

In winter weather I'll take RWD with snow tires over AWD with all seasons all day every day.

Yea i know, but i live in Southern part of kansas and from what people say it doesnt snow as much. but i was burning out everywhere. Pretty funny. and it wasnt the snow that was the problem. The problem was the black ice everywhere because of the freezing rain we got.
