Winter Tires for 4WD SUV

It's 99% dependent on a) where you drive, and b) how you drive.

For Kenny in Myrtle Beach, a 'mature' driver (and in the insurance business) not likely.

For someone in 'snow belt' of Canada, it should be required by law IMHO.

As an example, my own personal ride, an over-powered SUV, it's like driving on a hockey rink with all season radials.

BTW, as an aside, I don't think they should be allowed to sell them as "all season" tires north of the Mason-Dixon Line!!!

With good winter tires though, in my case Michelin X-Ice's, I can punch through snow deep enough it comes up over the hood without so much as a single wink from the traction control system light.

In other parts of Canada it's not only the law to equip your vehicle with winter tires, you get charged with 'careless' or 'reckless' if you're in an accident without winter tires. You don't want to know what your insurance company has to say about it afterwards either!!!

In your neck of the woods, I'd highly recommend them.

Best of luck.

Winter Tires for 4WD SUV

Funny thing, lots of folks emailed me to ask about the storm and how badly we got hit or to tell me how bad they got it. A friend in CT. got 40" and had to plow a couple miles of dead end road they live on to get out of the house.

I walked Deputy Dog a mile or two up & down the beach. Not a single flake of snow in sight. Weird.

Best of luck.
