BTW, I never could tell if I was in FWD or AWD. The transitions were seemless.
It's all about tires.
Tires matter a ton, but even using mediocre tires, AWD makes the magic happen while FWD/RWD will leave you stranded in many circumstances. No, it won't help you turn or stop, but it will help you out of the drive way.
If you think the TrueContact Tour is a mediocre tire, you need to do some research. And reread my post - climbing up and down hills covered in Seattle area snow/ice. A little more than just getting out of the driveway.
I never addressed your tires. That said, I've been looking at those vs. RT43's. Which and why?
