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

@fsport11jg- I believe it All Seasons. The VSC light was coming on when i would press the gas.
lol, haha My passenger window is not broken, my hand was nearly frozen scraping the ice off the windshield so i only did the minimum to see outside on the right side. But it does look broken lmao

At the end of the day just remember its a car and supposed to protect you from the elements. Nothing a nice claybar and polish can't fix in the spring

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.
