I take issue with the statement that a AWD with all season tires will fair worse than a 2WD with winter tires. Duh! I think if you are going to make a comparison make all things equal other than the item you are comparing. If you are comparing 2WD v AWD then put them all on the same tires and the same car (if offered in 2WD and AWD form) and see which is better.

I find it difficult to believe that a are with all 4 wheels turning will not fair better than a car with only 2 wheels turning in identical circumstances. Sure there are the squishy parts behind the steering wheel who think it makes them superman but we are not talking about the squishy parts, we are talking about the advantages of AWD v 2WD.

I'll wait for a real test of the systems instead of relying on this seemingly biased article.
