I mean....who cares about keeping up with the > 'Jonses?' You got the point exactly. Many people do not care to have a great handling tire in the winter when they can have one that is "good enough to get by". This is what I meant by keeping up with most people. > > > >If you want to pass the other cars, including four wheel drive models, > >get the pure winter tires. > > I think it is a personal decision, and should be based on his climate. Why > waste $$ on snowies if not needed? I keep my snow tires on steel rims, ready to go. I figure the cost of snow tires is about the cost of two tow jobs out of drifts and much less than the repair work resulting from an accident. Therefore I don't think $$ spent on snow tires are wasted, even if you don' get alot of snow. Considering the tires lasted 16 years, I think I got my money's worth out of them. > > > >I don't know if the Pirelli Winter 190s are available anymore, but I hear they > >are 'old' technology anyway. > > I don't know what kind of Pirelli's I had, but I loved them.
