I recently went from FWD Toyota with good tires too AWD Subaru with good tires and there is no comparison. With my FWD in the snow I would regularly lose traction in corners at very low speed, sub 5 mph going around city streets. I could not start driving on a hill if there was snow or ice.
Fwd with snow tires in the winter isnt a bad option. You can't win every battle but itl do for 99% if the driving. I live in northern WI and we drive all over the place with Prius' and snow tires no problem.
Yes the size choice is criminal and the OEM trailer tires even worse. Come on Toyota.
Used to do this and more, regularly, in a 4wd Tundra with Blizzaks. Was unstoppable.
I've driven my 2012 Camry for about 60k miles and the only maintenance I've needed routine. Tires/brakes/oil/etc...
Yeah holes in the tyres generally aren\u2019t great for holding pressure! That tyre is a long way past dead, it needs changing ASAP, i personally wouldn\u2019t trust it for driving at any speed.
I have a 2022 Rav4 hybrid, and it is AWD. I live in Alberta near the mountains, and my hybrid handles the snow great. I also have snow tires on my vehicle. It is a 31 km drive from my house to work, down city streets and on a highway that may not be cleared, and I have had no issues since owning this vehicle. \n \nI have great gas mileage in the winter and summer months.
My AWD gen5 Prius is surprisingly capable in the ice and snow with the stock all season tires. I live in northern Indiana and just drove home through a blizzard last week. Was able to cruise comfortably at 40mph in pretty much the worst conditions.
On my second RAV4 hybrid, both have performed adequately with winter tires with a few inches of snow on un-plowed roads in New England. The winter tires are the key however as others have said.
Fast forward to my 1st of 3 Ravs with much better snow tires and it was a much better ride. So, Ravs are very decent in snow, no\nIssue\u2026 BUT get good snow tires and I\u2019d stay away from winter rated all-seasons tires if you have to drive in regular snowy areas.
