Turn ABS Off

Well I decided against giving it a try, you all convinced me. While I do not like the longer slow speed stopping distances in snow, I do really appreciate the higher speed stopping stability and steering control in panic conditions. It was a fun little thinking exercise!

Regarding winter tires: the stock Falken tires on my wifes’s CX-9 do not do very well in snowy/icy conditions. However we love them in warmer/drier conditions. So we will probably keep those around for warm weather use and buy a second set of wheels to makenswapping winter tires simpler for me. The 9 should be pretty unstoppable in winter conditions with AWD and winter tires.

My 6 I’m going to do the same but maybe get a sportier set of rims/tires for the summer time.

Agree...the Falkens OEM don't do well in snow and ice that's why I replaced them last year with Nokian all-weather tires. This winter so far they've performed very well for us...way better than the Falkens for sure!
