yes! i totally agree! a car such as a dodge magnum has satisfactory "ballast" in that it is a heavier car,and the more "ballast" you have in slippery conditions,the better off you are.
the weight creates "traction" which with proper throttle control, will be sufficient to keep you moving even when equipped with (a.s.) tires.the roads around andover,and salem get plowed virtually right away,so it is possible if your timing is right, to travel around satisfactorily in a "heavier" car. not so sure about the frs,because it is a very light car,and even with "nannies" could be a "bear" venturing out with (as) tires.i'll bet the "nannies" may make a difference though, if one is careful! we'll see!
