Highway on-ramps - in the dry, on snow tires, around the temperature you should be switching compounds - that's just something you all need to experience for yourself.




I think I'm going to suggest a Winter Driving sub-forum.
I think there is a very interesting dichotomy between the words "winter tire" and "snow tire". There seems to be a usage as if they mean the same thing.

Drivers need to realize a snow tire is going to have exceptional snow traction IN SNOW compared to other tires. BUT it is not going to have the best traction in NON-SNOW conditions.
