RFB,
yeah, I dont need a 100% dedicated snow tire. I have my crosstrek for that. But I wanted to be able to drive it in the winter & still be able to take it out.
Last year, I shoveled down to pavement & had to wait 3 days for the snow to fully melt before I was able to back it out of its parking space. The tires just spun. It was crazy. (I had stock tires on it). I also noticed the road noise was increased under 40 degrees.
So far, so good this year... even in the few inches of snow we've had already - i could back the car out of the space w/o shoveling - no problem.
I'm pleased.
