Obviously, neither can defy the laws of physics, and AWD vs. RWD has nothing to do with braking. Sorry about your Jeep accident . . . I'm sure it had nothing to do with anti-lock brakes vs. not, or speed differentials, or driver inattention, or anything like that.  |
It was not illogical. Most people with AWD don't bother to buy a dedicated set of winter wheels. They think they are fine with the OEM tires. My point was if the OP just invested in winter tires then he'd be better off than an AWD with stock tires. This means the M3 is fine in the snow.
I don't want to argue. Do you have your period? Why else would you nitpick?
