    So I have my 5 lug for about 1,000 miles so far and am loving it. So we got some snow today and I took it for a ride with the 235s. I just went around the block to see how it would do and I went up a pretty steep hill at about 10 MPH and half way up it just stopped. Tires spun a bit and wasn't going any further. So I stopped, hit the lsd button and she just walked right up the rest of the hill. I was thrilled with how well this worked, I would not be pushing my luck in any mountain passes but Long Island is pretty flat and I am feeling pretty confident in my RWD 5 lug. Just a side note , not getting great MPGs right now. adding 2mpgs when doing the math for winter idling time and the bigger tires I am getting around 17mpgs. I think I will be doing much better in spring time though and thats not really any highway miles.
