They're no good on snow, ice, rain and probably have significantly longer stopping distance on dry pavement. They are good in mud tho  |
dude - i live in kelowna - we get about 5 snowfalls/year and i work out of my house. i think i've only had to use 4x4 2 times this fall/winter.... and that's just to get up the hill and out of my neighbourhood, then it's back to 2-wheel drive.
if the roads are really nasty i'll take my wife's car which has studded winter tires.
i don't know about alberta, but in bc you have to have winter tires (the ones with the snow flake on them) to do any kind of highway driving. it's not uncommon in the fall to have rcmp roadblocks where they are just checking tires
