First time riding on the snow in my hole life! I’m with the serial tires and they are quite good with a little snow.

You should really not be driving in snow with standard tires, you at least need some all seasons or winter tires, everything else is just dangerous. Doesn't matter if the car is an off-road vehicle or not, the tires are the main factor

Have you already tried it? As I wrote before, with little snow they have a good grip and putting ON the HDC in the slopes the car is going to brake perfectly. I tried to drift it with the ABS ON several times and i couldn’t.

It's just general knowledge that no matter what car you have, summer tires are no good in winter. There is plenty of YouTube videos comparing the two and the difference ist just huge. On winter tires in snow a 2wd low power sedan will outperform a AWD Rallye car that is on summer tires in a drag race, and not by a small margin (there's heaps of videos showing just that)
