Thanks for all the warm welcomes folks  |
About "winter" tires. I reckon that depends on the roads between where you are and where you want to go. With the OEM tires, if you have to go up any hills and the roads are ice or snow covered, it has been my experience, that you might as well plan on leaving your car in the garage.
However, if you have another vehicle, or can catch a ride with a friend, or take public transportation or work from home, during a snow event ...... I'd suggest you pass on winter tires.
Personally, I put "all season" tires on for the winter months and put the OEM tires on for the summer months. I figure that the two sets of tires together will last as long as I have the car ......
