Im just not a fan of their styling….not to mention they are labeled “granolas” and cars for ugly lesbians. So, bought my wife a cutesy Volvo suv instead. I was at a customer's recently and she had a sweet looking Volvo waggon. I had not seen one like it before but would 100% get it for the wife . My wife has always loved wagons . Pretty sure her dream car would be the Griswold family truckster Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ckf 14,998 Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Winter tires are very common in northern VT & NH. When I lived south of the notches it wasn't very common. I have them here, but didn't when I lived in Ossipee. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Anywho, If you live in the snow and ice belt a dedicated winter tire will undoubtedly outperform an all season by far. Test have proven it. Braking on icy roads is not even close with a studded or even the new studless designs. There are some A-T's with the 3PMSF symbol that work well but most have the old M+S symbol that is a farce. I had a set of Nokian WR3 or whatever they were called that were pretty good in the snow. But still didn't compare to dedicated snow tires. Where I grew up and lived most of my life in NH I never ran a winter tire. I can't think of many that I knew that did. The roads are different down there. The road crews have to expose everything from the center of the road to the white line before going home. Up here roads can be snow covered for weeks at a time 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Educate yourself, open your eyes, stop being sheep! This year, I say no to winter tires! As matter of fact I'm having 4 new studded Nokias put on. And I didn't have an accident...LOL 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

racer254 2,770 Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 OMG, you can tell this was written for people like MC. Do you think he had studded tracks or no studs. Of course that was if he actually owned a snowmobile. The least he could have done was adapted it for a snowmobile site by using studded vs no studs. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ICG 44 Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Studs are great on bad road conditions. . . Don't like the noise, but like the traction. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
