So if i've got blizaaks on my car, and he's got goodyear eagle all seasons, my car should be able to stop and turn better than his, no?
in snow, I think RWD+a good set of now tires and a catious driver is definitely better than AWD+all seasons+a driver who relies on their AWD to keep them safe and still drives like theres no snow on the ground. anyone else agree?

We have hurricanes every 5 years or so. You have winter every year. 
When I was living in PA (around Ft Washington in the foot hills) I drove the honda when it snowed. But I agree 1000%, once you're moving, it doesn't matter what wheels are driving the car, unless you're one of those idiots that likes doing 60mph on the ice. A FWD car isn't going to stop any better than a RWD car.
Now if it's a winter like you all had last year with 30+ inches of snow on the ground...yeah, now something 4WD and tall is the only thing going to help.
