Really good winter tires on my little Corolla. Got some funny looks driving it out to the shooting range in some very snowy conditions but it did great in the snow. If he is easy on the throttle and puts some weight in the back I bet he would be fine. I agree with other posters that all seasons won't cut it in RWD up by the ski slopes.

Moving one of our cars from Texas to Cedar City. What should I do about tires? Specific recommendations?

Get a FWD sedan and sell the RWD. Even with great tires going up to a ski resort would often suck

They'd have to be studded snow tires, and even that's not likely enough for a

All seasons will not cut it on mandatory chains or 4WD days.

So we'll want some chains/cables for bad canyon days. What about tires?

Do studded snow tires in winter, anything you want during the other times. Go cheap in Fall/Summer/Spring

If he wants to ski, RWD won't cut it. AWD or FWD with great tires / chains

Best and safest IMO is 4 snow tires on Front Wheel drive.

Get a CB person to go buy new tires and give them the ‘opportunity’ to drive the car to Cedar to break them in

An excellent plan. But in this case I'll be trailering it out when I move him.

What kind of car? Is it a mustang? RWD cars in snow/ice are super scary. My dad

Would you/he be open to selling it? A FWD or AWD will do so much better and

Honestly, I am way less concerned about RWD than I am about the right tires.

If you stick with RWD then 4 snow tires.

I drove a RWD BMW up a canyon for years.. Here are my current favorite tires.

Wait, you didn’t die by driving RWD in the winter? My worst winter driver was FWD, understeer is terrifying.
