I agree with this. Being down here we don't get much bad weather(snow/ice) but about two days a year so there's no reason to have "winter" tires.

Even with that, I drive in rain, ice etc. I hardly ever take a day off, and the key is not driving like a jackass . I've never had problems with traction in bad weather as long as I keep it safe.

I'll look into those, thanks

I'm just so used to all season tires I like the safety net. Plus I need as much traction in all weather as I can get in this car, after coming from big somewhat slow trucks

All season tires use a harder compound, so it's harder to get traction because it's not as soft. You'd honestly be better off traction wise with summer tires. Some summer tires have just as good of wet handling, if not better than all seasons. No need to worry about ice here

Haha never thought of that




Changed my mod plans on the first page. Went away from speed, and more towards appearance and interior comfort since they better fit my goals/driving style at the present time
