      I drove a few hundred kilometers on the highway the other day after a bit of snow fall, of course the four cars that I saw in the ditch were pickups

          I think in this case it was more the lack of winter tires and weight over the rear

          awful lot of people seem to think all-terrain tires are perfectly suited for winter

            Still, it’s the pathetic weight distribution/positioning. Bad design. Unsafe at any speed.
