if your going through snow with A/T radials and get into an accident who's to say you werent in 4X4 and had an obvious traction advantage VS even a 2 wheel drive with snowy's?

My pops said something about truck being alright, because generally it'll be a mud and snow type of tire if it's a proper truck tire. Could be just talkin out of my ass here but my new tires I put on my truck worked fine on saturday for me. (I was off road).

That makes no sense.

The shock of the impact could push my foot off the brake and force me into the car ahead. I could be hit by someone going extremely fast, pushing my car a long way. A large truck could hit me, pushing my car.

read the reply above. doesn't apply when you are in a 2+ car crash, the one at the very end is the one who is fully responsible.

otherwise in a 2 car situation the person doing the rear end is always at fault
