Good thing is I had my tires replaced about 2k ago so they are pretty much brand new
 I'll just take it easy and stay back from other cars. Never heard of it before, but engine braking is?.... Also, I'm just still scared to drive in the snow because of my first accident in the Acura when I lost control going around a corner doing 20mph. It wasn't sharp either, but the rear-end just went out on me. The only reason it was so bad is the fact that I tried to correct it, but kept over correcting, and I finally got stuck in a slide. I picked up speed as I was swerving because I was trying to power out a little, but I over did it. When I got stuck in the slide, I floored it because I was trying to go back the other way, but it just stayed. And boom. Telephone pole whack to the front end
