That's not really true at all. Snow tires work just as well on a RWD car as a FWD provided that roughly 50% of the vehicle weight is over the drive axle. I'd rather fish tale a little than understeer off the road. I drive a RWD truck through Winter with snow tires and it has no problems with 6-inches of snow, obviously ground clearance is an advantage in that kind of vehicle.
