Up here, snow tires during winter is a law. Plus, with all this amount of snow (and ice) we get every year, it's funny to hear people talking about driving with all season tires.

I mean the tires I have are pretty much brand new, maybe like 2k top on them. I'm not going to buy another set of tires when I just bought brand new ones. It'll just be a waste of my money and I need to save for other things right now. It's not like I'm going to go around a 60 degree turn going 40mph. I'm still scared sh!tless to drive in the snow cause of my accident last winter

you should be fine as long as you take your time and be very careful about everything.

I'm still scared sh!tless to drive in the snow cause of my accident last winter I wouldn't be doing much more than 40 mph period on summer tires in the snow. When I had my WRX we got a freak early snow storm while I was at work and I still had my summer tires on the car. Thought that with all-wheel-drive I'd be fine, but that thing was all over the road, even at 20-30 mph. So be very careful, and don't be surprised if you get stuck. I'd say to keep your eyes open on craigslist for someone parting a car out with all seasons or snow tires/wheels, or for a cheap deal. At least in my area a lot of people seem to be clearing their garages out before winter. -------------------- 1999 Celica GT

I'll keep a look out for something on craigslist, but I'm not going to be going over 35mph in the snow. I believe I had summer tires on my Acura, but it was my mistake for going a little too fast around a corner
