some new all season tires for my stock 16inch wheels.

WOW! - with my non sport suspention the ride is now so freakin quiet and smooth.

To bad turn in is now crap. But alas, it is just for the winter. At least my road trip next week will be nice and smooth and quiet.

Hopefully new 18's next year will fix the noise from my old ones.

Default No.....it will snow 3 times and ice 2 times in the next 5 months

you do not need dedicated snows because it never snows too much for the street crews to handle in 1 day.

most snow fall is 1 to 4 inches, with an 8 inch accumilation every now and then (years)

So a decent all wheel tire is best. I take off my 18 inch S03's for winter because under 45 degrees and those tires get slick as hell.
