Am I going to need snow tires?

[Aqua Teen Carl]

I completely wore out my all season tires (which were barely a year old when the big storm hit). My car is front wheel drive with traction and stability control, but the streets were in such bad shape that those tires didn't cut it. I'm going to have to go to Tire Rack and get some tank tires for this year, with all the tread I destroyed on my all seasons last year it'd totally be worth the investment.

Also, Honest Bob is a silly goose.

Good All Season Radials and some Common Sense will do.

Thanks for the great suggestions, guys!

I have driven in the snow a fair bit without much problem- never more than 6 inches, though. There are about 20,000 miles on my factory tires, so now I'm thinking of just going to the workshop and getting their tread checked. If not good enough, I'll probably get a set of mounted snow tires like some people suggested- I'll be in living in colder climes for the next 4 years, at least. Also, I already know how to change tires. My father taught me well.

When the time came for me to learn how to drive, dad took me out in the snow, and in the old '79 Corolla stick shift. Oh, I had to change a tire that day too, even though none went flat.

DaBurgh, aren't fathers great?
