We just had snow today. Not cool. When the right opportunity arises I will move somewhere with better weather.

Couldn't disagree more. I <3 driving in snow, and more importantly ICE RACING!! Nothing better than going sideways at 80 on a frozen lake.

In all seriousness, you need to re-read your message and see if you can even make sense of what it's saying.

Are you just plain asking what people think of the use in snow tires?
 
I lived in Utah for a few years. While there I drove a Subaru. With the OEM tires the Sooby ate snow for breakfast. When the wore out I bought dedicated snow tires. Not only did the snow performance decrease, the traction on dry pavement stunk. Too mushy. I say stick with a good set of all season tires. Check out the ratings on Tire Rack and stick with OEM tires.
 
haha sorry if i made error in saying ..english is not my 1st lang :(..anyways i got those tires for $230..i checked the tread level and its like 11/32 on all sides..m very happy with the deal and the condition of the tires . And now just have to go an install them

Couldn't disagree more, again! My Subaru was night and day when changing from all-season to snow tires. I was able to get more traction in all different snow conditions, AND dry traction increased as well thanks to the soft compounds most snow tires use. For reference, I have General Altimax Arctics.

I would have thought the same thing. However, in my case my traction decreased. I guess I chose a bad set of snow tires. I did not like mine. So to the OP I guess read the reviews. I didn't.....mine sucked.

Mine absolutely kicked but with a Bridgestone RE92. Switched to a tire that I think was made by Mastercraft (don't see it in the current lineup). They did not work.
 
we have this radio show with and winter/automotive expert n he has been on show twice a month for like loooong time .when people ask qs about winter tires he says for the money put in a brand name tires..ya they are expensive but they have done a lot of R/D on those tires..
This is will mine 1st winter with winter tires..although i had all season tires it was mostly city driving and with snows cleared i had no problem..
i iwll keep posted how the winter tires perform..
 
Polisher, if you are seriously considering a first rate dedicated snow tire, I would recommend you take a look at Bridgestone's Blizzak. They're about as good as it gets.
