There have been a few mentions of those types of tires. Thanks for your reply.

That is probably what will happen but not until next winter .I actually saw winter tires mounted on Toyota rims on marketplace. They were on the far side of the state and the sold in less than 24 hours. Thanks for your reply.

Ya another person mentioned these as well . they may be the right way to go. or 2 sets with 2 sets or rims. Thanks for your reply .

I'm starting to lean that way. Thanks for your response.

The good year winter command tires have stud holes . People complain about them on ice but the studs should take care of that. Thanks for your response

Subaru's have great AWD systems . I always thought a forester with a manual transmission with good tires on it would be a great solution. Thanks for your reply.

Ya if I go with winter tires I will probably buy another set of rims to mount them on before next winter . I've seen plenty of 4 wheel drives wrecked for the reason you mentioned. Thanks for your reply.

That's true. Thanks for your reply

> Ya that would be ideal. I just looked them up they are about twice as much as the winters. Thanks for your reply

I think its Switzerland that its illegal to have just winter tires on the front .Maybe other countries as well. Thanks for your reply

Will keep an eye out for it . The winter command tires have the snow flake on the sidewall but not the all season. I will look into the all weather tires. Thanks for your reply.

Don't blame you with a rear wheel drive. Thanks for your reply

AWD makes a huge diference .I know Erie gets hammered with snow. Thanks for your reply.

Ya I noticed that whish it was the same here. Allot of the times when I get to the bottom of the mountain the roads are noticeably better. Thanks for your reply

Ya the AWD helps allot .Thanks for your reply.

>I think it's pretty dumb to go to a place that has snow and not have winter tires on your car.

Maybe but the majority of people don't. And the last 2 winters weren't bad but this one is starting out bad. And considering it cost me twice as much this year to fill up my oil tank than last year money is a consideration too. Thanks for your reply.

Ya it seems like it doesn't get as bad down there. I always leave early and try to maintain space between me and other vehicles .I even pull over and let tailgaters go ahead of me to keep them away .I've seen all kinds of jack assery on my way to work. Thanks for your reply.

All wheel drive is definitely a plus .I had a few Chevy trackers they had excellent traction with just all season too. Thanks for your reply.

Where I live is rural but I go into a more populated area to work. If it wasn't for that mountain I would just run all season .You would think with the amount of travel and the amount of mishaps they would take care of that area a little better but there are allot of roads. Thanks for your reply.

Ya I see people doing that too the argument is the rear end will slide. There is a video about it on YouTube. But of course the tire companies put out propaganda to get you to buy more of their tires. Thanks for your reply.

I haven't seen tire chains on a car in years although they do work. Did you just run strait all seasons on you vehicle in Buffalo? Thanks for the reply
