    I don't think I have used snow tires since I was in high school. Find a good all season tire and then you don't have to worry about the hassles.

    I've never driven on snow tires, just curious if anyone does here. *shrug*

    I would say about the only time you consider it is if you have a rear wheel drive truck/SUV and you pull a trailer around quite a bit in the winter/ice. Otherwise my opinion is they are more hassle then they are a benefit.

    No. I did buy some chains last winter. I like to ski in Colorado once in a while and would rather be safe than sorry.

    Re: Snow tires

    I have them and I love them. I hardly ever slip or slide on the snow with them. I have studless snow tires, but I have also used studded snow tires.

    Re: Snow tires

    Front wheel drive cars don't need them as badly as rear wheel drive cars unless you are trying to get through deep snow all winter long.
