If you'll be driving in snow or cold temps, get some snow tires. At the end of the day, $400-1000 is cheap insurance to keep from wrecking a $25k car because even the nannies couldn't beat physics. And if you ever do get caught in the snow on snow tires, then the car is just fun.

Hah, no I am very aware of that. I meant for the drive home from the dealership (TCoat knows where I mean. A straight shot of highway for 3 hours).
