SNOWS FOR SURE (western NY Snowbound)

People with SUV *think* they can drive in the ice and snow.
4wd helps you GO but not steer or stop.
My 9000 did fine in Rochester (100+" yearly snowfall) with Nokian WR's which are the least aggressive snow they make (it's also considered an allseason tire) I'm planning to go to one of the Hakka's this year because the WR's left something to be desired on really bad days.
On my way to work I drove a combination of highway and surface streets, every snowy day I would see vehicles off the road. 1/3 of them were cars, the other 2/3 were SUV's. I doubt any of them were riding on snow tires, but those with 4wd had that extra confidence which in my opinion was their downfall.
Cliffnotes: Keep the saab get some Nokian's (or another good snowtire) and enjoy the view from the road while those other fools are trying to climb out of the ditch.
