In bad weather, tyres rule the roost. All these cars/trucks with AWD carrying extra weight and complexity for what exactly? 90% of people just do not need AWD but it has become a crutch for some reason.

Tyres, tyres.... tyres.
absolutely!

folks don't take physics and chem classes, and mandatory driving education is non existent.

A dude in CT4 with all seasons could not go up the hill. I stopped and asked if he needed a ride. He said I bought this goddamn car with awd and it won't go up. Then he said he had all seasons and when I looked they had 2-3 mm tread in 2 inches of snow covered roads. I asked him do you put your sneakers on when walking thru snow? Then the car stared to slide backwards. He got anxious and waited for tow truck.

For me there is no all season tire that is good in 4 seasons period! They are different compounds. Boots in the winter and running shoes in the summer!
