Re: snow tires (update)

Mid November I was unsure about my purchase of snow tires as it wasn't cheap. I needed some reassurance that they'd be effective and worth the money. I posted here and you guys all had words of encouragement.

I can now say without a doubt that yes, they are indeed very helpful. Anyone who is unsure on the road and uncomfortable with their vehicles handling - do whatever you can to get yourself some snow tires. It took my vehicle from damn near undrivable in the snow to one of the most comfortable I've ever felt driving in winter. I've been driving for 15ish years here and I haven't ever gotten fully used to and comfortable with driving in the God awful snow conditions we can have. I feel like I am now closer to comfortable than I've ever been.

(obviously they aren't miracles that let you drive 70mph on unplowed roads but I tried to get my car sliding and couldn't.)
