Hi @Missy .....

If your car came with summer performance tires and you plan on driving when the roads are snow covered, I seriously recommend you invest in a set of all season tires.

The first winter I had my Miata, which came with summer tires, I thought I could get by ..... because it doesn't snow that much around here.

After all, I've driven RWD cars through 14 winters in the midwest, 2 winters in Europe and 7 winters it Connecticut and never had snow tires.

Well, that light miata with rock hard tires was another ball game. Sort of like a hog trying to walk on ice!

I know buying winter tires is no fun ..... but sliding in a car that is out of control ain't no fun neither ....

I don't care if your car does have a limited slip differential, TC, ABS brakes, and VSC, ..... it's the contact patch that the tire has with the road, that stops the car.

I hope you get my drift ....
