Rear wheel steering and snow
Hey folks,
Anyone hear about, or experience lack of stability in snow with cars that have rear wheel steering. Assuming winter tires are on, is this likely to be an issue?
Thank you!!

I can't see where it would be a problem. The key factor is the quality of the snow tires, and of course driving according to the road conditions. On the other hand ABS can present challenges as I expect that anyone who has ever driven on a snow covered road appreciates.

The way I understand rear wheel steering is that it engages in two situations: 1) parking 2) at relatively high speeds. but not in anything in between. So, unless you are doing high speed drifting in the snow, I don't see how it would be a problem.

While not the same system, I do drive a 3000gt with aws, no issues really. Mine is coupled with an awd system as well but the amount of turn you get from the rear end shouldn't really bother the cars ability to turn, safely, in snow.
