Still running on OEM's.

Erm.. I'm 24 and this was my first experience with an ABS equipped car in snow.

3 more tests this morning... 1 in snow same thing happened as yesterday and 2 in normal roads w/out
 

any snow and the same deal... all these while I was looking at the dash and no ABS kicking in.

ABS is teh suck on snow... and that's gotta be what you're experiencing.
 

I'm sure you know how ABS works: as soon as it senses slip it reduces pressure. On snow and ice, the system is going crazy trying to keep up. Ideally, you would turn it off in snow if you were given the option (pull the fuse?).

I think that is your answer.
 

Perfomance tires or all season? Performance tires don't stick to snow very well. ABS will kick in like crazy.

Are you serious?
 

ABS rocks in the snow. Not as useful on dry pavement.

listen... as long as the brake pedal is pulsing, your abs is in action
 

there isn't a dash light

the idea behind antilock brakes is that they will pulse instead of locking the wheels up... it's the equivalent of the old 'pumping your brakes' technique to stopping in slippery conditions

you should be worried if you DON'T feel it kick in

So I shouldn't be worried even though the car is not stopping?

it's hard to stop on ice and snow going downhill

I think you just need winter tires.
