Just put Blizzaks on my S2000
I love this slip sliding driving.just don’t get that in Africa.
Altimax Arctic are the greatest performing tire in the snow I've ever experienced. However, you give too much up in exchange for that snow traction. I'll be throwing the Wintracs on next winter.
Just had a good snow here in Canada. Blizzaks on my Genesis 5.0 Htrac are confident and fun!

80% of driving in the snow is avoiding the other people on the road in their 6,000 lb SUV's on bald all season tires
lmao. truth
And mustang drivers on summers (in my area)
@@jasonwang508 facts i hav a mustang and putting snow tires on changed the game not enough people are doing that
typical americans
Nah, its the 3,000lb CUVs you want to avoid.
“Your all-seasons are no-seasons” is literally the best way to put it
@Jay Jay I got some Michelin primacy on my brz and I’m doing well
I ran all seasons for 6 straight years in a GrandPrix and 3 years in an Impreza and I live in the North East Kingdom. You must be from below the mason Dixon
The point is that “all-seasons” don’t perform as well as summer tires in summer weather and also don’t perform as well as winter tires in snow. You should do yourselves a favour and buy a set of summer tires and a set of winter tires. It’s just better. (PS, I live in Quebec, Canada where snow tires are a requirement and really glad that they are)
@@matteocavallin8775 All Seasons are well developed these days, much improved than the first times when they just established. Of course All Seasons aren't as good as summer tires for the summer and winter tires for the winter, they are in a balance of both actually are even closer towards and almost regular winter tires because the winter season offers the dangerous road conditions and challenges. I'm driving all-seasons on cars for 10 years on various cars Ford SUV's, BMW, Audi, Ford Sedans... been in deep snow and ski resorts without problems ever.
We had enough of exhanging tires on 2-4 cars each season and buying 8 tires per car when needed isn't very amusing. One set of all seasons and you are good for at least 3-4 years depending on your driving and tire pressure. Sure, you can go to your dealership or workshop to exchange the tires but they don't do it for free too. ;)
All-Seasons are very very good developed and more than good enough for regions where the winters aren't to heavy, living in high alpine and mountainous regions it is recommended to better use regular winters because of the heights and steeps.
It really depends on where you live and really live under conditions where true winter tires are better required or not.
Technically you even could drive on winters all year, because there's no summer tires requirement but the softer rubber increases wear, lower mileage and control can be wacky in emergancy cases because of the softer profile in hot summer. conditions. All-Seasons are great for people living in regions where the winters don't become so snow heavy usually or with snow the conditions are managable but also warmer countries/states. I'm living in northern germany and the winters are constantly changing, there is snow and sometimes heavy snow but the recent yearsit didn't stay long sadly, but as said I'm going to skiing trips yearly and going to the Mid-West Germany Winterberg you already enter Winter Wonderland and I had no problems driving there. Although going to Austria's and Switzerland ski resorts you might prefer true winters.
should not even exist this type of tires :D
its about car control.. Yes you can--equipment is key
That and some common sense
Perfect summary of the video.
@@jayd8919 It's actually quite the opposite. AWD, 4x4 gives people fake sense of security due to the fact that they can accelerate pretty decently however they can't brake any faster or steer fast and that's why a lot of accidents happen in winter.
@@jayd8919 it will not stop any faster, it will not turn better on actual ice etc. Where 4x4 shines in winter is hills and getting unstuck if things go side ways. Been driving rwd in winter for years, in modern cars it's just small problem on hills and that's that. It's clear to me you have very little of actual driving experience if you thing your 4x4 has magical powers and a lot more grip then anything other...
@@jayd8919 facts. turning under acceleration in 4 wheel or all wheel has way more grip than doing the same thing in a rear wheel drive car
Protip for snow dirfting, besides the posts and poles, is beeing aware of sticking out manholes and curbstones that are not vidible under a layer of snow.....people have snapped off wheels on those.
I agree! In parking lots especially.
my city has terrible potholes. i gotta be so careful haha

@@Boost3334 bro no way we’re on the same video
Ah snow days, the time of year when SUVs on summer tires come to destroy my front gate.
Aren't there some type of regulations in USA regarding the tyres? Can you legally drive on summer tires during the winter?
@@the_skips yeah I’ve never heard about laws against it.
@@the_skips In the Canadian province of Québec, it’s the law to have snow tires on your vehicle between November and April. I wish the rest of the country would follow suit, as it’s just common sense.
@@warwgn3956 In Latvia we have strict regulations about tires during seasons. Cops sometimes stop cars and check whether they have winter tires. You can get serious fine if you wont change them in time.
That's weird that other countries don't follow same procedures
@@the_skipstheir are some Mountain passes where they mandate chains and /or 3 peak rated tires but across most of the US it's not illegal (though insurance will deny your claim if you wreck in the snow and didn't have proper tires)
Little trick I learned back in the day for getting out of that situation you described: Rear wheel drive vehicle with an open diff, one rear wheel on good traction surface, other rear wheel on ice or mud or other very low traction surface and you're stopped and can't get moving... Pull up the handbrake about half way, just enough for it to bite on both rear wheels, then gently drive forward. The rear wheel braking force from the handbrake will slow down the freely spinning wheel, and send enough power to the wheel with traction to get you out of the predicament, so you can get both rear wheels back on a good surface. 😉This has saved my bacon a few times over the years.
Great idea!
Thanks, thats a pretty smart idea!
I have ALWAYS done this. Ma taught me, and her father taught her when she was learning to drive on a 1940 Plymouth! I only drive rear wheel drive. My daily, also my only, driver is a 1990 Volvo 240DL wagon (estate). In 610,000 km and 32 winters Arthur has never been stuck. Knowing how to drive and good snow tires win every time
@@michaeltutty1540 610km holy
My electric (?)handbrake would like to know how to do this 😅
Ran a Mk 2 Miata, RWD + LSD all through the year for 4 years. never got stuck and was great fun. Biggest problem was ground clearance when the snow got deep
Legend! Yeah ground clearance is no joke when the snow is seriously deep. PLUS not all snow is equal. Light fluffy snow is fine since you'll push right through. Wet pasty snow is just gonna stop you dead in your tracks and rip off that nice bumper lol
I brought out the 2016 Smart yesterday (same as the 2017 Tedward drove recently, RWD, OD but with ESP), and the snow built up around the car was the biggest obstacle I encountered all day. We got about 10 inches of snow, and that car has 6 inch clearance... luckily the roads were mostly cleared. My driveway was shoveled halfway through the snow but was not clear, with a couple of places I should have shoveled before I tried to leave. Luckily I kept my bumpers. Lesson learned!
Had an 99 nb with snow tires for 4 years living in an area that averaged 10 ft of snow a winter. Proper snow tires and a bit of smarts goes a real long way.
These snow videos are so good to watch.
I'm glad! I kinda wonder about it because snow driving is sideways and fun, but slow. Never know if it translates to exciting content lol
@@TedwardDrives Nah it's actually really fun to watch, the slow motion floating is what I felt when watching you and when having fun in my E39, aaand the tires last longer ;)
Next time I get caught by the cops for drifting in the snow I’ll be sure to tell them I was just doing a rwd u turn!
I'd argue that driving a RWD car in the snow on snow tires is actually safer because you don't get a false sense of confidence like all the people with AWD on all seasons! Sure, they can get going, but they can't stop or turn like they can accelerate! RWD in the winter is also really good for honing your car control skills at relatively low speeds! I drove my Miata through the last three winters up here in New England and I'm a much better driver for it
This is so true. I have seen so many people in trucks and SUV kept flying by me. They have too much trust in their AWD with all seasons
The amount of people I've spoken to who think they don't need winter tires because they have awd, as if stopping your vehicle isn't important, is mind blowing to me, especially being in Canada. Meanwhile, I'm blowing past all these awd, all season equipped crossovers with my small hatchbacks and sports cars because my tires allow me to have actual grip and drive closer to the speed limit since I'm confident in my vehicles ability to stop 🤷🏽♂️.
peoples false confidence doesnt result in awd being less safe. They are people who dont even understand awd. awd on wintertracs will always be superior.
I fully agree. I always trun my traction control off if there is snow on the ground for the purpose of enjoying the drive and keeping my skills sharp. Drifting in snow in winter has helped me a lot in understanding how my car will handle at Autocross in the summer.
I my current daily is a 99 BMW M3, wonderful fun in the snow.
Yeah, you use all 4 wheels for braking, and thats the same for every car. 4:50 indeed!
Driving in JUST SNOW is absolutely beautiful w/rwd...but when it starts sleeting/mixing then the fun is over lol.
Nah, you just have fun at a slower speed then, at least that's what I do lol
“Should you drive in the snow?”
Me still stuck in my 525 from last years snowfall:
Because it has a open differential
@@bidenisgod6978 open diff with winter tires wont get stuck easily
@@bidenisgod6978 wrong, just get good winter tyres. But americans still haven't figured out they need two sets of tires if they get snowfall lol.

Driving in the snow with a RWD Car is immense fun and I totally recommend it.
Agreed it snowed in Texas a couple years back and it was my first time to snow drift and it was so fun I was out till 2am having fun.
But at the same time I’m cool with the sheep not joining the fun.
tedward uploaded. today is a good day
I live in Canada and I winter my 1990 NA Miata with snowtires and it also has the Torsen LSD. Works fine! Only problem is it's so low that the front lip acts as a bit of a snowplow.
I think when you said that once you get comfortable, don't get too comfortable is really important. In snowed in western NY, and I got a little too excited trying to drift a left turn and almost went over a curb and into a tree. I got really lucky and understeered into a driveway instead haha!
You are absolutely my favorite car youtuber at the moment, hope 2021 brings you lots of joy and growth :D Keep up the great work!
Thank you Magnus!
honestly, I love RWD in the snow. Some AWD cars and SUVs are extremely numb to drive, and are so capable in the snow that you have no idea how bad the roads are until you are going way to fast. With RWD, you know exactly what the roads are like and if you begin to understeer, you just apply more throttle. There is something so special about driving RWD in the snow, as long as you know what you are doing and understand that it will not be the best thing in the world.
What do you mean "should you"? It's my favourite part of the year for driving an RWD car!
Don’t let Matt Moreman see the snow brush clip
I'm afraid he'll send his goons to execute me. I'll be monitoring the cameras!

Lol we have the same birthday. Christmas Eve
You can buy cheap rwd cars if you save up money
I've only seen snow a few times in my life and have always wondered what it is like to drive in! Thanks for the really cool video. I've never seen a video that explains snow driving before... 😂
Beautiful car control and confidence. Reminds me the time I did some snow tail sliding in my new BMW 318iS Coupe (but in an empty car park). we hardly ever get snow in south west Ireland so when we do its a real novelty.
Great video! Its insane how many people in New england assume RWD cars cant be used in the winter, just because they saw their friends Mustang on summer tires get stuck once.
"All seasons are no-seasons!"
Well said. Just like all-purpose oils, can be used for anything but are really good for nothing.
Well, they have uses. My all seasons perform best in rainy conditions and it's raining all the time here. In the winter we usually have you guessed it, rainy conditions. Now we've had the most snow we had in probably a decade. It manages pretty okay to be honest, but I didn't really buy them for snow. Now the most important point, if I buy two sets it costs more than the value of the car😅.
I drive a Fiat Punto fwd shitbox lol, it's much fairer game than with summer tires anyhow and I wasn't gonna switch anyhow.
Just don't treat them like actual winter tires. They're not. We get a lot of ice roads due to rain freezing on the ground, but at that point only spikes will save you (and they're illegal lol). 😂
You know what all seasons are good for? Learning the limits, cause unless it's all dry they suck the same no matter the conditions. They just don't surprise me with sudden lack of grip, which is cool.
If you don't mind adding an extra 30% time to any trip in the winter, then most def a RWD with winters is just fine :) Uncompilable with AWD with winter tires but, if it's your only choice. Anything on frozen highway speeds, RWD is just a nightmare to lane change over ice.
I do drive a RWD car just FOR the winter time ;)
Its funny I see this video after absolutely snow drifting my mustang for like 3 hours yesterday
mmmmm excellent V8 music
@@TedwardDrives could be a 4 cylinder tho
This is just addictive...once you have driven the RWD car in the snow, you want more and more. Every single corner becomes an occasion to slide a bit. Dunno why but that's how I feel on the road whenever it snows.
RWD all day everyday, as said just bring snow tires and a LSD.
"Just bring an LSD"

Hey Tedward! I drifted my Civic with ebrake in snow for the first time last night and I think I've had a revelation 😂
Snow tires FTW. Put them on my Outback and it's a freakin' tank after this week's storm.
Glad i found this channel before it blew up. So close to 100k, keep grinding tedward!
Thank you!
Driving in the snow in any of my previous RWD cars has literally been the most fun I've ever had on 4 wheels. Nothing comes close to it.
I've only owned RWD so far btw, so I'm pretty experienced in that.
It really does hone your car control skills.
I grew up on the east coast but moved to California. This is one of the few things I miss about winter.
Guy that upgraded to a Ford Escape from a Focus: I AM INVINCIBLE 🤪
Quick tip for open diff rwd: you can use your handbrake ( old lever style) as a manual tc to get you out of one wheel slip situations. Just apply a bit of brake, you dont need too much and the power will be distributed a little more evenly. My driveway always ice on winter when there is snow and until now, I didnt got stuck one time, just be patient and dont forget about winter tyres. XD
You can get rear sliding in many styles
Very impressive driving and awareness of all the momentum and forces at play! I used to love sliding around snowy parking lots with a manual fwd + hand brake.
Can you drive a RWD car in serious snow?
No.
Can some pretty experienced driver slide an M3 in the snow?
Yes.
Oh well.
I love driving in the snow with my E90, the key is not to avoid drifting, but to learn how to control it.
Drove my 30 year old Lexus LS400 which is RWD in the snow recently. The car would start to lose control if I applied more throttle than it could grab onto the road with, so its easy as long as you don't use too much throttle
Another pro tip.. start out in a higher gear, this reduces torque so actually be easier to accelerate in the snow without spinning the wheels and this specially true if you have undefeatable traction control where off isn’t really off (most modern vehicles). using higher gears actually means less slip on leaving so less chance that traction control cuts in at worst time. If nothing else it also increases margin of error allowing increased pedal travel to break free which is great specially if learning how to drive on slippery conditions.
As for shifting up and down in the snow manually (paddles or sequential) shifting up is actually safer than shifting down in a car with RWD and an LSD, shifting down to use gear box and engine as a brake can result In you car going sideways, in FWD less of an issue, AWD depends on biasing, FWD biased AWD is fine however RWD biased AWD can slide out sideways. Shifting up reduces torque so less chance of breaking free unless gun it or are already at edge of grip so if start to break free just lift off a bit while maintaining throttle. Honestly, 2 ways of driving I recommend.. either use auto mode on gearbox, it is pretty good not perfect but pretty good about working it all out and holding gears.. or pick 1 gear and stick with it entire trip.. something not too high to make it impossible to climb a hill but something that isn’t low enough to just spin wheels at tap of throttle, for me 3rd gear is perfect for severe snowy roads, I can get up most hills apart from steepest ones (in PA) I dont run out of gearing until about 50MPH in 3rd so 35-40MPH which is about as fast or faster than most traffic out in severe snow so 3rd is perfect..
Yes! I've been waiting for this one! Amazing what a difference snow tires make.
I love those smooth not agressive slides that he made and olso when he did those 2 u turns its just🤤🤤
This is great! Exactly the kind of snow video I was wishing for, thanks :D What are your thoughts on "added winter depreciation" on these cars? I'm concerned on the effect snow and salt have on the car!
If you're concerned about it get a winter beater. This car has held up really well under the salt and snow but I bought it to drive it.
Watching you smoothly drift around is so soothing. Great tips aswell!
Every car has a Power of an M3 on the Snow

snow tires? no such thing, all tires are the same, just different tread patterns, the patterns do not make that much of a difference at all

Not when You turn off the DTC..
He has it turned off, he he. Look at the yellow round light in the dash :)
In fact, RWD is more controllable while snow slide occurs.
This video could go on for hours and I still would be entertained!
Well, to answer the question; i don't get a choice, i only have a RWD car.
"should you drive rwd in the snow?" *first clip* well I think that answers that
when i got out in the snow last year all i could see where fellow bmw's having fun.. everyone else stuck at home.. man its so nice so much fun! Kudos on killing the myth of RWD from 1980's that people have!
i ja sam prosle godine driftovo sa opel merivom...zadnje gume su bile ćelave...
Every time you upload a snow video it makes me ache for a rwd daily, we get so much snow in PEI during the winter it's very fun. Too bad there's no used rwd cars around me locally in good condition :(
"Should You Drive RWD In The Snow?" me: haha I drive with rwd in snow everyday and car is from 80s :DDD
Great video! Love that New England winter driving. I drove RWD BMWs as my winter cars for 12 years up in NH. No accidents. Drive smart and know your vehicles limits
I’m rwd bmw, open deferential manual driver and confirm what you said in the video.
I drive with my bmw on snow and doing it safely already 4 years. Ice is the most unpredictable but when you adapt your speed to the conditions and being aware of the typical hazards you’re fine. Always feeling satisfaction when overtaking suv. People invest so much money in those cars driving abilities but don’t realize that they never need that 😊
Good stuff. More people need to take the time to learn to drive on snow rather than just tempting fate when they NEED to.
I was driving in Boston yesterday and saw a guy doing donuts in an un-shoveled parking lot. Pretty sure it was a rwd IS250. Guy was having a blast.
ayeeeee love the vids
I love winter driving, the scenery is so fancy and the road is so slippery which brings so much fun to driving especially a RWD car. Sadly right now I'm stuck to saving money for a driver's license.
Drove my mustang in the snow and people were looking at me crazy lmao I was drifting up a hill having the time of my life it’s all about the inputs of the wheel like you said and respecting the car
I want a 2022 version!
Id love to have this
when there is snow on the road in Germany (which it actually was 1 day this year) its instantly salted and the snow is gone within 1 hour or so.
they didn't have esp abs traction control and all the yadayada in the 80s
Respect for warming up the car before crazy driving
I would also add that everyone should drive to an empty parking lot and check how well your car stops starts and turns. Do this the first snow of the year because your car can change over a year and we don't always remember how it handles as well. By testing yourself and your car you will be more aware of how to handle a bad situation. I own a 2011 Cadillac CTS4 (4 stands for AWD), it is a heavy car that without AWD is rear-wheel drive this means that my car will have more power going to the rear (trust me on this) and if the car would have been front-wheel drive normally the reverse applies. Knowing your car is key so mess around try stopping after making a fast turn and stop in a straight line while counting. Check your tires or have a place like Discount Tire do this for you and I would go as far as to say have a mechanic go through and make sure all is fine. If you have a brake that kind of sticks you will know it in the snow much more than in the summer as an example. Finally, you might be a great driver but others are not so watch plan and drive for the weather.
Lovely weather!
Greatings from Germany, without any snow in my region :(
That aged poorly
@@paulthorwesten7377 Haha yeah
I love driving in the snow!
It’s somewhat of an addiction and this video made me yearn for the upcoming snow-driving season.
3 seconds in. "Yes"
Rwd + dodge demon 2000 hp + traction off is best
Hes just casually sliding everywhere, thats fuckin hilarious 🤣
Just took me 30 minutes to get my miata out of the driveway didn’t have to go anywhere just wanted to see how rough it was wish I had winter tires 😢
I drove my NB through two winters -never got stuck (had LSD and unstudded winter tires). So much fun
Great way to start my day
Owned RWD BMW's for 20+ years.
I prey for snow, it's bloody brilliant fun.
When AWD car starts sliding, it's even harder to control for the average driver. Definetely not better for the average driver.
Generally speaking, all-wheel drive is absolutely better for the average driver in the snow. Also, it's "definitely."
Yes the front end totally washes and you have no steering, the only thing I'm not a big fan of in rwd is the big hills in PA, not to mention a lot of people have zero respect and will literally stop a inch from your rear bumper on a hill.
@@thetechlibrarian for sure. AWD acts totally different when it goes sideways. Seems like US driving culture is much worse than Europe. People here respect the weather conditions
So I'm driving a manual E90 330D with XDrive and I gotta say one thing - Driving in the winter is like the best thing that can happen - And it's even funnier to see people watch me go up on steep hills in a 3 series. I once had an FWD Alfa try and pull the same stunt, following me to the highest parking spot on a ski slope - only for the guy to get stuck.
But other than that, finding an empty parking spot (do note where the kerbs are, or you're going to have to straighten wheels lol), and just holding the DCT button for 4 seconds, and you let the magic happen.
Stay safe, greetings from Europe :)
My first car (still got it) was a rear happy crazy flingy fwd french 90s hothatch.
I've discovered lift off oversteer in it before I first read about it.
As a new driver i had learn winter snow driving all by myself.
The winter tyres i had back then were a size too small, bald and old.
Almost hit a tree and died a few times but survived the first year as a driver in the snow & ice.
You can drive anything in the winter. Just use your brain.
And get good tyres.
It sounds like your talking about a rear suspension of a ZX/306 with rear steering induced by bushings! These things could be pretty tricky!
@@romaingallard8385 The car Im talking about above is a saxo vts
I heard the reason so many wrecks happen in the winter is because the car can’t stop. The issue is braking, not getting up to speed.
Most of these cases probably start when people don’t use the proper tire for each season.
I was just talking with my dad about how I appreciate people that drive cool cars in the winter specifically talking about 911s and m3s.
His argument was sure it's possible but you're going to risk your cool car with the idiots in traffic
You've got insurance! It'll be fine haha
Oh no I'm not looking to deal with them
holy shit I didn't know you were in Mass, of course you can drive RWD in the snow, I did with so many cars including an M2 and now my Supra haha
Winter tires are always good if you're trekking through deep snow. But all season tire technology has come a long way. If you're city driving through light snow/slush (like most people). A good pair of all seasons are more than enough.
Play the drifting part at 1.75 speed
If you are buying a car and you live in a climate like this, dont cheap out and buy WEBASTO PARKING HEATER for your car.
True with the winter tires. Doesn't matter if you have RWD or FWD or 4x4, as long as you have decent studded winter tires you can drive 99,99% of the time.
Basically just be a amazing driver lol
That last line about a clutch...
I was stuck on a very short driveway (no space to gain speed) that was nothing but ice and I had crappy winter tires (almost all of the studs were out) with AWD, but no locking diffs. It took me so many tries sliding a bit sideways on all four wheels, but eventually I got the clutch out just smooth enough to stop the wheels from spinning and barely got myself out. Hydraulic clutches make it harder than it should, but it’s still a million times better than a computer controlled clutch.
