White knuckling, sudden breaking and or turning is what gets you into trouble.
If you're coasting to stops, giving yourself stopping room, and easing into turns then things usually go fine.
Any FWD sedan needs quality tires. They're the first victims to get stuck or spin out somewhere.

AWD makes zero difference in emergency braking situations. I agree with your statement things Usually Go Fine. The problem with driving is you have to drive with other drivers who cut into your gaps. Given how people in general suck. I like adding to my margin.
Buying winter tires for acceleration issues seems odds, while annoying to everyone around you and backs up traffic it doesn’t create an immediate safety issue. It’s all about stopping distance.
