Hi all, I have been interested in the discussion re tire width & traction. It reminded me of another counter-intuitive statement I read about two years ago re snow tires on front wheel drive vehicles. This was attributed to a race car driver of some repute (I forget the name at the moment). He said if you were to put TWO snows on a front wheel drive vehicle they should go on the BACK. Make sense to anyone? By the way my 85 Vanagon is much better in the snow (35 cm-14" at present) than my front wheel drive Taurus. Happy Y2K (or "AMM" for Latinophiles) Leo Meaford ON
