Reviews
Fwd with snow tires in the winter isnt a bad option. You can't win every battle but itl do for 99% if the driving. I live in northern WI and we drive all over the place with Prius' and snow tires no problem.
Pros: not a bad option
Vehicle:
Toyota Prius
Le avevo 4 stagioni sulla Fiat punto del 2008, la mia prima auto.
Mi sono trovato molto bene, l'ho tenuta dal 2019 al 2022, sono andato anche sulla neve in montagna, in nevicata piena, e ho avuto zero problemi.
Pros: Mi sono trovato bene
Cons: Poi ho grippato
Vehicle:
Fiat Punto
Mileage: 75000 km
Avute per 4 anni su una c3. Uso misto, in ordine: collina, citt\u00e0, autostrada a velocit\u00e0 sostenuta.
In inverno nevica poco da me, ma le abbiamo testate un paio di settimane fa (vecchie di 4 anni) e siamo usciti senza problemi dal vialetto sterrato e innevato.
Pros: si sono comportate bene
Vehicle:
Citroen C3
Used to do this and more, regularly, in a 4wd Tundra with Blizzaks. Was unstoppable.
Pros: was unstoppable
Vehicle:
Toyota Tundra
I've driven my 2012 Camry for about 60k miles and the only maintenance I've needed routine. Tires/brakes/oil/etc...
Pros: routine maintenance only
Vehicle:

I got new Barums for this winter and they’re doing absolutely fine (also on a Golf). Recently done 110 on snowed highway while everyone else was in the right lane doing like 80 and they felt perfectly stable. On wet road they also seem to do well.
Pros: perfectly stable, do well
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
I recently went from FWD Toyota with good tires too AWD Subaru with good tires and there is no comparison. With my FWD in the snow I would regularly lose traction in corners at very low speed, sub 5 mph going around city streets. I could not start driving on a hill if there was snow or ice.
Pros: good tires, no comparison
Cons: lose traction in corners
Vehicle:
Toyota
I got a 2006 Toyota Solara in June for $4250. 81k miles, one owner. I got new tires and had to change the downpipe/catalytic converter because it had a hole after driving for 2 months.
Pros: low mileage, one owner
Cons: hole in downpipe/converter
Vehicle:
Toyota
Mileage: 130357 km
Yes the size choice is criminal and the OEM trailer tires even worse. Come on Toyota.
Cons: OEM trailer tires worse
Vehicle:

Fanno cagare a spruzzo. Avute delle estive di quella marca e w gesu sul bagnato sembrava di guidare sul ghiaccio.
Cons: sul bagnato sembrava ghiaccio
