Question:
I currently have a very light 2dr front wheel drive car and I slip and slide all over ice and snow; are there options outside of purchasing winter tires? I have read that putting weight in the trunk of a front wheel drive car is more danger than help (longer stopping distances, less control over back end, etc).

The only thing you can do is buy a differen't type of tire, if you have wide tires on your car they will be terrible in snow, take it from experience.Would like to drive your car to the right, as in France ?

You have a couple of options outside of purchasing good winter tires. You can purchase quite inexpensively a set of "cable chains". These work quite well and if you mount them correctly they will provide good drivability. You can also run your current tires somewhat under inflated, about 6-8 pounds at the most. This provides a larger "footprint" in contact with the road. This however will effect dry road handling at any speed over residential speed limits. It also will cause faster tire wear that you should be aware of. Bottom line, what is your "butt" worth? You have a good wreck that wipes out your wheels and perhaps causes you harm is hardly a trade off on the money saved not getting proper tires.

Unless you live in a community which allows chains for your tires, your scr*wed. I bought a 4WD car 2 years ago for this very reason and it never slips. Ever. Maybe you could do a trade in for something with 4WD. Another alternative is *religious salting* of your parking area. Lay down tons of salt.More Questions & Answers ...
