Sorry, I have to comment...
Today's siped tires like the Blizzaks often outperform tire studs and chains on snow and ice.
I don't know how many years is has been since you were 15, but clearly you haven't learned how to drive on snow and ice in any kind of car.
1. Slow down...
2. Use higher gears
3. Don't push any pedal hard, or turn the wheel quickly
4. Slow down
5. Lifting off the gas abrutly is as bad if not worse than braking.
6. For the most part, AWD only works if you foot is on the gas, and the engine applying a positive torque on the drive line. This does not necessarily mean you are accelerating!
7. Slow Down
8. Buying a car with AWD does not exempt you from the laws of physics... Most SUV drivers thinks it does, don't be like them and end up in a ditch or worse.
9. You are not a WRC driver! SLOW DOWN!!!
