To clarify Posi helps in snow at low speeds like taking off thus is true. But what I don't like is in Michigan the snow gets packed down and turns to ice and can stay like that for weeks. This basically means you are driving on a sheet of ice, and michiganders still drive 55 mph or better in these conditions because we are used to it. It is kinda hilly over by me and with the ice road climbing a hill with a crown at 55 and more than 1 tire breaks traction... It can get dicey to say the least. And no snow tires here throw 300 pounds of rock salt in the bed and RUN IT!!!
