If you do get occasional snow, check out the Nokian WR So far as I know it's still the only all season tire that is also rated as a snow tire, but they wear as long as most other all season tires http://www.nokiantires.com/en/tire_wr.aspx?season=summer In some places, if you get tangled up with another car on snowy surfaces, having the snow rating symbol on your tire can keep you from getting a ticket, and in some cases if you have the snow tires and the other guy doesn't, they'll rule it the other guys fault on the spot due to improper equipment for conditions....just a thought.
Personally I look at good tires for winter conditions as cheap insurance, costs about the same as an insurance deductable, and they're a lot more fun than spending the night in a ditch. and it only snows a couple of times a year here, but we usually get a nice dose of ice with it. --------Robert Allan Streib wrote: > Looks like I'll be needing new tires for the 300D this fall.
