P.S. I know there are those who believe that RS-As are the only choice. Not only is that wrong, but after my experience, also a dangerous recommendation. RS-As are slippery and unpredictable in the wet, allowing the SSR to break traction and slide out of control. This has been documented repeatedly on this site (and others, too).

OK, off my soap box.

So you are recommending KDW2s for driving in the snow?

I just put on KDWs last month and found out that they also are slippery and unpredictable on wet roads. I specifically went to a bend in the road where I could always just "tap" the gas and have the rear end come out when the road was wet with the RSAs....well the EXACT same thing happened with the KDWs. On a straight wet road the KDWs held a little better.
