The vast majority of snow-related accidents occur when a vehicle does not stop, or respond to steering input, as quickly as desired.Assuming you have a vehicle with FWD and all-season tires:Changing to AWD will have no impact whatsoever to the car's ability to brake & steer in snowy conditions (*to the vast majority of drivers)Changing to snow tires will make a dramatic improvement to the ability of a vehicle to steer and slow down in snowy conditions.Kevin has 1770+ answers in Here is how the various configurations compare:Best = AWD with winter tyresBetter = FWD with winter tyresOK = AWD with summer tyresPoor = FWD with summer tyres Snow chains aren't a substitute for fitting the correct tyres, chains are useful in an emergency in deep snow. If you go to areas where lots of snow is normal you will see AWD vehicles but large numbers of local people will just use FWD hatchbacks and the correct tyres. [Quora decided that it didn't like my answer so here is some additional text and a Link to a page about tyres hopefully the bot will now think my answer has value.]

Most Viewed Writer in I spent a Winter in Canada with a Volkswagen Jetta with the most aggressive all season tires I could get, driving up and down a mountain to a ski resort. The only problem I had was one morning, after a foot of new snow fell; so I went back and borrowed a Volkswagen (company) Polo with real winter tires and it got out easily. all seasons are a compromise and not as good as winter tires.I tend to think Four Wheel Drive (4WD) is overblown for all but the most exceptional conditions and since most people with 4WD use all season tires rather than winter tires, grip is going to be compromised over a 2WD with proper winter tires. Here I'm using "grip" (traction) to mean not just the ability to propel the vehicle forward. My other concern is that people in 4WD think they are safer when all they are getting is better traction.

After we installed them on the car, we drove about a mile and one of the links broke. Just as described and worked great. Excellent chains you won't be disappointed. I bought these for a gift.

Now the good news: these are not your grandpa’s chains. Quick-fit chains are MUCH simpler to put on and take off. Do these two things before you need to use your snow chains. The driving conditions when you need chains are likely to be nasty. Snow is coming down, passing traffic is spraying slush, dirty water is dripping off your wheel wells, the road is slick and it may be dark. Don’t make this the first time you put on your chains.

Practice once BEFORE you travel. Make sure new chains are the right size by pre-fitting them on your tires somewhere dry, like your driveway or garage. Second, put together a simple winter road trip safety kit with spare waterproof layers and items that will make your winter driving more safe and comfortable. In winter, always carry it in your car with your chains. Want a quick how-to on putting on quick-fit snow chains? Here are a video, step-by-step instructions and driving safety tips. When and how to install your tire chains Snow chains are made for use on packed snow and slush. They shouldn’t be used for just driving on wet pavement, which makes them likely to break. Using them a lot on ice will also make them wear quickly, though sometimes it’s necessary to chain up to get past an icy patch of road. Here’s how to put snow chains on. Pull off the road as far as possible on a safe shoulder. Flip on your hazard lights. Put on your slicker, gloves, hat, headlamp and waterproof pants from your winter road trip kit and grab your chains bag.

Ideally chains are installed on all four tires. Some people use them on only two. Look in your owner’s manual under snow chains or tire chains for what your vehicle manufacturer recommends and follow that advice. If you’re using only two, the chains should go on the drive wheels. Typically, chains go on the two front tires for four-wheel drive and front-wheel drive vehicles, and on the back for rear-wheel drives. Kneel or sit by the first tire on the tarp or cardboard from your kit. Unroll the chain, making sure the hook ends are facing the ground. Push the yellow end of the chains behind and around the tire. Pull the two ends over the top of the tire and fasten them. Grab the chains on both sides of the tire and pull them together toward the center of the tire. Then hook the red fastener into one of the links, as snug as you can make it. Don’t worry if there are some extra links. Be sure that the smooth side of the hooks point out, not in, to prevent damage to the tire.

Push the cable toward the back of the tire, positioning the chains loosely over the tread. At the bottom of the tire is another red fastener and draw chain. Pull them toward you so there’s no slack. Feed the red draw chain around the opening on the fastener. Pull it tight and lock a link into the notch on the fastener. Feed the rubber end of the draw chain through the red rings. Depending on tire size, you may only be able to get it through one of the two rings, but try to get it through both. Stretch the rubber end tightly and hook it onto a link on the side chain. Repeat this entire process on the other tire(s). You want the chains tight against the tire tread. So drive forward about 15 feet and stop. The chain will have centered itself creating some slack. Retighten the draw chain on each tire. Then you’re ready to drive. Grab your towel from your road kit to sit on so you keep your seat dry. While driving, if you hear any indication that the chain may be broken and it’s hitting your car, STOP as soon as safely possible.

Chains that are flapping can wrap around a strut or shock component causing big damage to your vehicle. Listen for a loud sound of slapping, or metal on metal. As soon as you’re through the snow zone and have a safe place to pull off, stop, put on your hazard lights and remove the chains. Take off your wet outer layers and throw them in your road kit. Remember: DON’T drive for any distance on bare pavement. How to drive with snow chains on Be sure to keep it at no more than 30 mph or you can damage not just your chains but your vehicle. Don’t lock your wheels by braking suddenly. Start slowly, to avoid spinning. When parking, give yourself extra space so you don’t break your chains by hitting a curb. When you’re back home Because they’re steel, tire chains will rust if they’re stored wet. Lay them out to dry first. Also check them for wear, especially if you’ve driven them on asphalt for any distance. Look for flat spots, and replace the chains if you find some.
