Why is it that people expect some electronic device like ABS or TCS to save their a** when it's the TIRES that are the most important thing!!
Dare I ask... What kinda rubber do you have on your car? ("All season" doesn't cut it) Get some real snow tires if you live in an area that gets a decent amount of snow (we've had it EASY in the Northeast this year!)
My advice to you is to practice, practice, practice... Learn how long it takes to stop in hazardous conditions! And try this experiment...
Remove the fuse for the ABS system (with the engine off) and then practice stopping without it... Put the fuse back in and do the same tests again. Notice that the car stops STRAIGHTER in usually shorter distances and that you have actual steering control rather than just "sliding" straight into the tree.
Good luck.
