Yep, again rearward weight transfer was biting you in the butt! By backing up, you effectively made it a rear engine, rear wheel drive car, the best for traction! :lol:

That really put the weight on the driving wheels.TomT said:However, as you said, in marginal traction situations like snow and ice, the front-heavy weight bias of FWD can be an advantage...
