Winter tires on 07 - Click HERE for Original Thread

I live in toronto where we get a fair amount of snow.

You guys think that winters are needed for our ride or is the all wheel system so great that we don't really need them at all.

The tires are what make the difference. If you plan on doing a lot of driving in snow and ice, a set of winter tires would be a good idea. No matter how good an all-wheel drive system is, if the wheels can't grip, they slip (which probably explains why I always see SUVs on the side of the road during snow storms -- their drivers invariably spin out of control once they learn this simple fact of physics).

I live in Minneapolis and have given up on snow tires. Mainly because the roads are treated so often with salt, wet traction is more important than snow/ice.

Good snow tires are wonderful, but there is a trade off for dry pavement driving. Seems like our winters are not that bad anymore for snow here.
