No, I agree, it's not a fair comparison. Just my observations when I feel like all I hear is that "oh, we don't need anything other than RWD, it gets through anything." Heck, I'm still hearing it now... I'd love to drive a 300D and a "good" fwd car both with Blizzaks on and see how they compare. Or against the Sube with "good" all season tires. I know the Blizzaks make a big difference, but I just can't see them making the physical differences you're describing. Or perhaps it's all just a matter of personal taste as to which is preferable...
