Snow Tires - A Million Posts

[martyo]

I have now logged a few miles on my MM.

I have come to the same conclusion as Sarge did a while back -- this car has trouble with the stock tires in the snow. I have a steep driveway and have been having a hard time getting the car up the driveway when there is even a hint of snow or ice (whether I have TC on or off).

I read through a lot (but not all) of the snow tire posts. Driving in the snow will be inevitable for me next year when I no longer have my urban assault vehicle. Was there ever an agreed upon winter tire solution? I want to avoid an expensive mistake.

Thanks in advance.....

Look for Tetsu's Winter Tire solution thread.

The Tirerack package that I specified is inexpensive and
excellent in the slippery stuff.

Johnny: Do they ship?

You may be out of luck ordering the complete solution from Tire Rack this season as they were out of stock on the tires when I tried and did not expect to get any more as the manufacturer was done with the production run.

I ended up ordering the rims from Tire Rack (they shipped them to me in 2 days) and picked up the rubber at a lock Discount Tire shop.

All I can say is "Big Difference" on snow.
