Next week, I switched to a set of Blizzak WS80 winter tires. It snowed again pretty quickly after that, and the difference was staggering. When I was on the all seasons, I was sliding all over the place. Every time I tried to pull away from a stop, the rear wheels would just spin and spin. On the Blizzaks, I never had any problems. I watched big AWD SUVs sliding around and I just drove around them. Personally, I probably wont ever run all-seasons on this car ever again.
Switched to Firehawk Indy 500s for the summer and have been loving them so far.

Since ol @
Tcoat has limited internet access, I'll sit in and respond for him.
"Obviously, @
qcbaker, you don't know how to drive on snow covered roads and are blaming your inability on all season tires -
I have been driving on snow covered Canadian roads for over 40 years with no problems. Most of my tires were bias ply, retreads with the cords showing.
So, learn how to drive on snowy roads or move to Hawaii and buy a Civic!"
