I think most people just want the AWD to get in/out of their driveway, then you're on plowed roads and the AWD doesn't really make a difference anymore.
Plus, AWD+snow tires is still better than FWD/RWD+snow tires. It's not always an either-or situation.
- ehaliewicz2 8y agoI suppose but I find that AWD is generally a crutch that most people don't need at all, and those that think they do just don't want to use proper winter tires and endanger others on the road as a result. The amount of people who actually need AWD in addition to proper equipment, is probably a minuscule fraction of the people who think they need it. I specify winter tires instead of snow tires because it's not just about snow, it's about temperature as well. All-season tires are generally pretty good about this, compared to summer tires, but once you get to 10F or less, most all-season tires (maybe all of them?) are about as good as driving on rocks.
