Aaron,
I'm assuming you have a 5-speed since you have the 4cyl here, but if you
don't you can disregard. But, I've heard that starting off in a higher
gear (2nd) will help in slippery conditions. I think the idea is based on
reducing wheel spin. Anyone else heard of this?
BTW: As for the subject line, "studs" and "2wd" shouldn't be put on the
same line. We all know studs, like myself, drive 4x4's. :) (just kidding
around of course)
