They'll do in a pinch if you sipe them and occasionally throw the t-case into 4-HI when things get uber slippery. Not ideal but plenty doable.

Fishtailing on Macleod @ 60kph is fun. Especially when you're 50 yards from entering Glenmore intersection!

That was a couple years ago though haha

We had this conversation a couple years ago John, you're supposed to leave it in 2wd until you need it so you can shine up the intersection and slow up traffic....
