Hello Mike - 

--8<--cut 

MR> ABS *is* different because it won't lock the wheels. One
MR> has to be able to lock the wheels on ice to stop faster. I
MR> heard it said numerous times by defensive driving course
MR> teachers and professional ice-racing drivers. It may not
MR> make as much difference with bald all season tires but it
MR> definitely will with good winter tires or better yet studs. 

I live in Michigan and drive each year on ice and snow. If you
lock the wheels you lose _all_ control of the vehicle and on
crowned roads or the X-way's banked turns you slide _off_ the
road into very very large ditches (mini-valleys in some places).
