    Weight alone doesn’t help. It matters where the weight is. On a rear wheel drive vehicle it absolutely does help with traction and handling if you add more weight on the rear axle. People have been hauling sandbags on their truck beds/trunks in the winter for ages for a good reason.

      Yes that’s what I said, thank you.

      Adding more weight only helps if you put it in the back. Takes those sandbags and slap them on the hood and you’ll just make it worse. You need them over the drive wheels.
