Bottom line: I'm with JST. RWD + open diff + all season tires = stuck on any non-trivial incline. It sucks.

But speaking of LSD's, I was in a gravel lot the other day and did a controlled power slide with the rear. It was awesome. I can't wait to try it in the snow.
I LOVE the MLSD. Has totally transformed my relationship with the car. Every drive is a pleasure. And, I actually prefer the A/S 3+ to the MPSS tires. I feel like there's so much more grip and confidence. Or maybe that's just the LSD talking.
