ABS + Snow & Ice = Oh Shit Oh Shit
Tires locking on Ice and Snow is good. Bad if you're trying to turn and you lock them up, but for stopping its good. It works like a plow and builds up more snow and crap in front of the tires and slows you down faster than braking. ABS just lets you roll over the snow and never build up that wall to slow you down. Great for pavement though
