What snows are you riding on? Good traction/braking? Planning for next year...
All the way, it is my year round car, mountains, bad weather and all. It was pretty bad driving in to work (heading west) but really bad coming home. A friend followed me in his X5 and couldn't believe it - I had more traction than he did. In fact, he said looking from behind at my car compared to those next to me that mine had a huge roostertail of snow - the tires were "pumping" so much out of the way. I am on Nokian Hakkapelitta R's on the OEM 18' wheels. They are really soft (so really low grip in the dry) but man do they grip. Blow away the Blizzak, Wintersport M3s, and other snows I've had.
