we RARELY get 3+ inches here guys, lets be honest. thats y the blizzard of 98' was back in 98...b/c it happend 1 or 2 years out of the 14 that I have lived here. on that note, when it does snow in excess of 6+ (blizzard) who goes anywhere (Work/store/out)?? if you guys are driving your G in snow of excess of 3+ inches your craazy. snow tires or not the car is RWD, unless you strap chains on...i cant justify any real price for that. not to mention you gotta pay every time to have them mounted/removed if ur using the same wheels. my stock 18s w/ michelin pilots are my winter tires. i'd rather sve that 500-800 put it towards some nice volks which id use the other 8-9 mos in the year.

Anyways all this arguing is pointless. There are people who will feel they don't need snow tires..... from the last 2 winters... I guess snow tires aren't that huge of a deal? But then again.... being unable to go anywhere because it snowed 1-2 inches... does get on my nerves. And there was only maybe 2 instances of that last year... I for one know how sucky our stock tires are in the snow.... I bought my car in Jan. 04... 3 days later... it snowed ... maybe 2-4 inches. Didn't drive for a week... had to wait til it melted.. I tried to drive... when the road was plowed but ice had accumulated under my tires and I couldn't get traction. Last year... I saw it started to get some heavy flurries.... I rushed home... at a stop sign in my neighborhood... from a stop I made and left turn and the car was fishtailing for about 3 seconds.... and the road wasn't even covered. I would like to get them for my own piece of mind. Not worrying and looking outside when I got somewhere and think....oh ****... is it snowing? I better go home... or how am i gonna get home... how am i gonna go to work? I don't have the luxury of working from home. so for the few times that we will be having... maybe we'll be having more snow than anyone expected? We sure had more rain then any other year.

^^maybe u should stop driving like 2f2f and the car wouldnt fish tail in the snow. the car is a RWD sports coupe, not a AWD SUV. when it snows u gotta accelerate real soft, brake real soft and turn real slow. not MASH the gas pedal b/c u live ur life 'a 1/4 mile at a time' lek!!

For once I agree with Lek, of course it probably won't happen again.
