Winter Driving
I have a 05 Dakota Magnum V8 RWD and we are moving from FL back to CT by the end of the year. My question is how will the RWD perform in the snow, my guess would be pretty bad. I don't want to sell it but if it's going to be bad to drive in the winter I guess I have no choice.

My '06 cc hard tonneau 2 wd lsd diff with factory Goodyear's was a POS in the snow. The rear of the truck sits higher than the front so weight transfer leaves the *** end loose as a goose. I had to put Goodyear Fortera Triple Tread tires on it and 300# of sand in the back to level it to get it to do anything in the snow.
[QUOTEGoodyear Fortera TripleTred is one of the first all-season tires to be branded with the mountain/snowflake symbol, indicating this tire meets severe snow service requirements established by the U.S. Rubber Manufacturers Association (RMA) and the Rubber Association of Canada (RAC). ][/quote]

If you remember the Octobrer storm buffalo had that knocked it out of commission I managed to drive through that with a little bit of slip here and there but nothing terrible.

If you're really worried get some Blizzaks, they aren't cheap but they're consistently awarded as one of the best snow/ice tires out there.
The factory Goodyears were utter garbage, I don't even advise running those if you never see snow or rain, they will still suck.
