Not gonna say anyone is a *****, but I have to agree, I think it's ridiculous to use 4 wheel in the rain! And it does use alot more gas and is unsafe if you make a hard turn. Not to mention the damage to the axles on a hard turn as mentioned previously.

4wd or AWD with studded snow tires even on ice can be tricky. Its not a cure all. Im fortunate to live in snow country where studded tires are legal. I see enough out of towners with there big old AWD SUV and they think can 45 on a snow covered road. Then they try to stop or they lose control. Pretty funny to watch actually from a safe vantage point

Keep in mind that I just picked up my RAM last week. The road conditions were icy and it was a mix of rain, sleet and ice. This is my first 4X4 and all I wanted to do is try it out.

I'm not a *****, and if you saw me you wouldn't say it to my face without suffering consequences
