As someone that grew up in Pittsburgh and lived in the Seattle area for 5 years, Seattle's topography isn't that extreme, the drivers are just awful. My favorite example is this interstate exit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tij3SRs_5wg&list=PL_ZOHdoqrC...
replyI live in Seattle - on top of one of the largest hills in the city - and think you all are overreacting.
replyPast two winters I was in RWD too. Just exercise some throttle control and get proper tires.
(Snow I’m willing to acknowledge is trickier, but modern cars in wet roads shouldn’t be hampering any of you…)
Tires are the big thing. The vast, vast majority of Seattlites aren't swapping out for a winter tires set in winter, and they aren't running a 3PMSF-rated all-season / four-season / all-weather tire, either.
