Do most NE residents get snow tires?

[RickKap]

Just curious.

I know I did when I had an Integra. With RWD M3 and its summer tires snows were a must.

other rwd cars without snow tires astonish me. My summer tires do diddly squat in ANY amount of snow. They don't even stick well when it's cold out.

Rear wheel drive cars with too much power is a bad combination in the snow.============================================= ============

The majority of people here(MA) go with all season tires. The further North you go the more you will see winter/summer rims and tires.Big Sandy

wheels, just to see what kind of snows they are running.

i would not say a majority of people run all-seasons. there are a lot of people running snow tires in the Boston area. of course my sampling data is confined within the bounds of Waltham, Newton, Wellesley, Natickk, Wayland, Weston ... where there is a large percentage of BMWs/MB's due to status symbols. The elitists also have common sense the the $$$ the buy a second set of wheels you know.

you can run studed snows in Mass from nov-april so im sure you can father north as well. Im glad i got me a set of studed haks

I switch to snow tires on old non-sport rims to save my style 19's on which I have some nice summer performance tires. I found that all seasons were wrong for the conditions 70% of the time.

All seasons don't bite enough in the snow and they don't grip enough in the dry of summer. Unless of course you are driving your BMW like a girl, then you won't feel the difference.
