Do you drive a FWD car or RWD?

I'm asking because before putting on my snow tires, I had the AS3+ on my IS350. During the first snowfall time, they were BARELY okay on slush, but when the 2nd snow hit, I couldn't even get out of my alley ways. I switched over to Michelin X-Ice3 before this 3rd snow.

On my previous IS300, I had the original DWS, and it still seemed like they were better than the AS3+ in snow.
The AS3+ IMO are much better than the DWS in dry, but even in heavy rain, I find they can lose traction
