Smile Outlander + 4wd lock + good snow tires = beast

Just wanted to add a thread today of how happy I am with my 2008 Outlander. Got Snows put on this year,

Motormaster WT All Terrain Truck from Canadian Tire...and wow...

This car on 4WD auto is Great...on 4WD lock...Ridiculous. We just got about 50 Cm's here in London Ontario..and I can't be stopped. People are snowed in, slippin, gettin stuck..

I'm drivin around at regular speed, bustin through snow and ice and stickin to corners.

I also have a AWD 2009 MaZda Cx-7 turbo, it doesnt come close to the performance in the snow and ice that the Outlander does.

Just wanted to announce how much I love My Outtie...

Awesome. I put Toyo GO2+ on mine but there is no snow in Toronto yet, so I guess I'll unleash the beast later on lol

Yeah, now Toronto is getting a bit of snow. Around 3 - 5 cms I say.
I love it man! The car is so capable of griping the snow. There was corners where I want the car to slide...haha! But once the car slides, is very easy for it to get back control of grip. I just found out today when the car slips and slide, the dash gives you a signal saying car slide or something. Never knew about that one.

Thats the ASC kicking in. Its amazing how when you get it sideways the ASC straightens you up pretty good. Its hard to fish-tail or do doughnuts without turning the ASC off.

Is it possible to drive on the highway on 4 WD lock (on snow covered road ) without breaking anything or is it for slow driving ?

Thanx
