Hmm, interesting idea, this. I haven't ever tried winter tires. Well, could be where I live, I guess.

Especially if you buy 4 winter tires! I do that with my Caddy. It makes a world of difference.

We got rid of my wife's 4x4 last year, but got a set of Bridgestone Blizzaks for her New Beetle. This was after reading about the tests comparing the traction between 4 wheel drive with all weather tires and dedicated winter tires. Winter tires win in all areas except hill climbing. While my Scion Xb was sledding around the snowy streets, I could barely get a slide out of her car! (If I didn't enjoy sliding around, I would probably get a set for myself!)
