pfff....who needs snow or all season tires. I just drove in the snow on my summer tires and I really didn't have that much of a problem, except starting from a stand still. Then again...the snow was less than an inch lol.

of course you're going to slide..

summer tires are like rocks on ice at anything below 40f. and on top of that they don't have the thread characteristics to function in snow.

and don't get all season tires - you need dedicated snow tires.

Snow tires here - I still slide on Ice near my garage and messed my bumper up. if I have All season, it could be worst.

Get winter tires for snow.
