Hi Volks

I am driving my vanagon this winter (usually stored in
garage) with all season Yokohama 370 M+S (mud and
snow) and they just sucked big time if there is just a
little ice. "Acceptable" on compacted snow. Last week,
I just installed good winter tires on my vanagon and
it is like night and day. Just soooo much better! I
can say it handles like any other 2wd... Almost as
good as my honda civic with good winter tires.

IMHO it will never beat a syncro.
