I will miss the snow days
Thanks for the message -- I only had these on in the snow for the 2010/11 Winter in Boston (80+ inches) -- this year we got practically no snow, no fun.
What I can tell people who have never driven with snow tires on this car -- is that you are missing out. It is so fantastically easy to give a little extra gas and push the rear end out, then as soon as you want it to pop back into straight, lift your foot and you are rock steady again. I can't remember one time where I understeered, or fishtailed even close to out of control.
After trying one time without snow tires in 2005, I garaged it (since I could not drive up my driveway, or an on-ramp, or pull away from a stop sign with the stock tires.) Buying the snows in 2010 really changed my whole impression of the car. I guess what I am saying is that if you have not tried this car in the snow with the right tires, go for it.
