I got BFGoodrich Traction T/A’s on my Trans Am…I think I will just use them on my winter kaa. Looking at an S-10 this weekend. Only thing is the tires are a 225/60 so I dunno if that will be too low profile and too wide…but eh. Should handle ok in snow. I have run Winterforce in the past and was quite impressed by their performance. ---

I just ordered this last night, for the Neon: [http://www.discounttiredirect.com/direct/findTireDetail.do?c=1&sw=true&cs=185&pc=11216&rd=14&ar=60](http://www.discounttiredirect.com/direct/findTireDetail.do?c=1&sw=true&cs=185&pc=11216&rd=14&ar=60) Discount Tire is offering $100 off any order of 4 tires or 4 wheels. So…$53 x 4 = $212 - $100 in savings = $112 shipped to my door, for 4 brand new tires. CANNOT beat that 🙂 ---

I’m not worried about going forward. Its about being able to stop and stay on the road that is important to me. I drive from Holland into Buffalo to work so snows are a plus with the many different conditions I could hit during the drive to and from. ---

I’m still amazed by how many people think that AWD and/or “heavy” and/or big or better brakes are going to stop a car. at the end of the day it’s tires that stop/start/turn a car - they are the only thing that touch the ground and thus the most important part of a car regardless of type. ---

I run studded Nokian Hakkapalitas (sp?) on my accord for the winter. I’ve never gotten stuck. Tires are very important during the winter. So don’t skimp out. I got mine from Dino Tire, just south of Buffalo. ---
