If driving on mud or snow like we have here and only have 2wd, you can get up steeper hills with power over the tires that have 60+% of the weight. Winter driving is more than all out speed.
With the traction down to 5% of dry, having the traction on the front is the way to go. If you are cornering reducing throttle will tighten up the turn. Using a handbrake can both slow the vehicle and induce oversteer.
I have owned vehicles for the last 55 years and have a number of years of racing motorcycles both off-road and road racing, I run snow tires on all four wheels of all of my vehicles all year round. I can deal with reduced traction in the dry a lot easier than having the traction go from 10% to 1% in the mud, ice or snow.
Street driving or riding is not racing.
