This year I had no problems with the traction control as My Nokian WR tires are wonderful in wet/slush/snow/ice. Just make a strong recommendation for good tires (either Snow/Ice or the Nokian WR or WRg2) if confronted with bad driving conditions.
Is this something that just front snow tires is enough or do all four wheels have to be the same tire?
