I don't feel as if I am getting by, I'm fairly proficient with driving around in the snow, as we get it quite regularly. I'm way more competent then those guys driving around in those big jacked up diesel trucks who think they own the road in the winter. Here I have seen more cars in the ditch with winter tires then without, most of them women but still.....
I'm not doubting the ability of winter tires and I understand the rubber makeup is different then AS but if your going to be an idiot its not going to matter what tire you have on your rig. I have a set of snows from my moms old X3 I should put on to test this theory and let everyone know..
