Idk .... I learned to drive in snow in a huge RWD sedan with NON-RADIAL tires and yet I still managed to get around most of the time.

Of course the tires on the rear-wheels looked more like 4x4 off-road tires (and I carried chains!) then whatever summer-crap is on that Camaro lol.

My 2014 Elantra came with "3-season" tires made by a sketchy Chinese company called "Ling-Long". Surprisingly they were amazingly "sticky" on dry or rain-soaked roads BUT god help you if you got caught in anything frozen!

Had to replace them with 4x proper all-season tires after the first snow.

They would spin in place?

They weren't COMPLETELY useless like that guys Camaro but it was a front wheel drive car which has better traction. What would happen is they would "drift" sideways in snow/ice at anything over 25-30 mph. VERY disconcerting and unsafe!

Problem was the off-lease Hyundai was a Florida-car (lol) and down there believe it or not those tires would have been completely fine even if they wore out fairly fast... Ling-Long is a (relatively!) legit tire company these days.

In a harsh New England winter however they proved insufficient. :(

I have always had two set of tires :shrug: and I have never owned a RWD car.
