It was a necessity for me to have the snow tires on when i drove across the country in mid-winter or climbing up to ski resorts on winding steep snowcovered mountain roads because no telling what type of conditions I would be running into so to err on the side of caution was paramount. And looking back it was smart. But now I don't plan on doing that however I do plan on driving in snowstorms to resorts in New England that have a much milder grade and mostly interstate. So it got me thinking about how the BMW AWD system combined with trac ctrl and ABS is with the RFT all-season's and how people felt driving them inthe snow covered roads.. I know it's a PIA to have to change over twice a year. I DID like the handling with the snow's on. But on the other hand I wondered how it handles without the snow's on. I guess there is only one way to find out huh. BTW, what is the differecne between snow tires and winter tires? I saw that mentioned here.
