But better traction tires belong in the rear for any street driven car. FWD, AWD, RWD, FlinstoneWD… whatever. Idly sliding bologna skins are bad news. -edit- rofl @ picture. ---

They use tire chains in CA. It’s required. When I lived out there once you get up to a certain altitude, police have a road block set up and you either have to pull over and put chains on, or turn around and go back down the mountain. And in this case, i’d suspect it was to help braking.
