Does my AWD suck?

I have no problem at all in the snow with the Typhoon as long as I keep it out of boost. Its not a cure all, and actually only really "works" in wet road conditions when it comes to traction and handling. Snow is snow and its gonna pack in your tires and give you a slick like drive. I got around fine in NY this past weekend and thats with high performance Z rated tires and 315s out back on 17" rims. Just be easy on the gas.

why isnt the fluid changable?
The fluid is part of the viscous clutch, Ive never heard of it going bad, but sometimes it can leak out, and once there is a problem with it, the whole clutch has to be replaced. Its basically a very thick fluid that uses hydrualic properties much like your torque converter to connect the power between your front and rear wheels...

I'll have to check those out - thanks!
 






How much are BFG All-Teras going for? I would like to get a set of those when I wear mine down.... I'm just talking about stock size initially unless I change some things up before I get them.
