Driving up Seymour in RWD? I've always gone to Grouse because it's the easiest to get to (and the safest to drive to), but is it safe to drive up Seymour in my RWD? Never been up there before so I don't know what the road conditions are like near the top, even when they say it's "clear". I have fairly new "all-seasons", which really means 3-seasons. Safe to go up or terrible idea? |
it's ok. Just don't be an idiot & drive slowly |
i wouldnt. but ice and ish scare the hell out of me and boarding isn't worth the risk for me. |
Somewhat depends on the RWD. If it's a mustang, I'd say no. If it's a volvo, I'd say sure. Seymour's road isn't as well maintained as Cypress, to be perfectly honest. That being said, I've had no issues driving up any of the mountains locally with all seasons and RWD when I had my truck. |
Shouldn't be a problem, i guess the biggest worry u have is whether it will be snowing the day you go up... Last year i had my suzuki swift up @ cypress was nice and sunny in the day and then in the afternoon it started to snow pretty bad ... had to go down the mountain super slow since i only had all seasons on a car that basically hydroplans on wet patches. With todays conditions it shouldnt be a problem, just keep updated on the weather. |

Went up with the Volvo last year and nearly went off the side LOL...hit a patch of ice going around 40 klicks and almost slid on to oncoming traffic then off the road. I suck at driving? :lol |
Havn't you seen Tokyo Drift É |

I don't even drive up there in the summer in FWD, it is an extremely dangerous mountain road. |

RWD is better than FWD when driving up hills in the snow! |
Better because you can go up sideways! Clearly. |

gravity pulls the body weight down and forces it to be places on the rear wheels |

f = (m) x (a) no traction = no acceleration = no force |
ya.. but you're going up a hill... so wouldn't the weight shift to the rear wheels assuming the hill is quite steep.. |
no it's been said like 4 times now FWD > RWD in snow |
its not that bad... honestly i wend up cypress on the snowiest day in jan with all seasons FWD... just have to drive slow and cautious... the bus which eagerly sped to pass me ended up in the ditch going down... the roads were closed for hours |
