Now, I live in VA and although there is *some* snow there isn't too much. By the way, I do not plan to switch to winter tires - I plan to use these tires all year round. What attracted me to these tires was the performance but will these tires prevent me from getting on the streets if it snows lightly? My rationale behind this was that these tires apparently come OEM in 07 Cayennes, Q7s, and I believe Tuaregs and if its stock for these SUVs -- what's the problem. I guess what I'm' trying to say is, "Did I make the wrong choice here?".
I'm not familiar with the Michelin Latitude Sports - do you know if they are true all season or summer tires?
If they really are summer tires you will not be able to drive them in the snow - with the tread pattern and rubber consistency of summer tires you may as well be on skis. If they are all season tires you will be fine especially with the light stuff in VA.

Post a link to the tires.
