I wanna ride a snow dinosaur...
Thanks for the degree symbol shortcut Kangae, I know quite a handful of them, but never ventured up past 200...
Anyway, driving on snow and ice with summer tires is something of a joke. If I lived in Phoenix, where it *does* snow once in a decade or so, I wouldn't spend money on snow tires, it'd be a waste. Driving up here, I have two different sets of tires. No need for studded tires, but I'd like to try them out sometime, just to see if they provide a noticeable amount of additional traction over good snow tires or not...
