Default Do you think we're going to have a rough winter?

let me begin by saying i drive a tsx. i've come across a pretty good deal for a set of wheels/blizzaks. i can justify spending the $$ if i know they'll be put to good use, but i'm on a tight budget so i'd rather save it for now.

any predictions on what kind of winter we'll have? maybe someone has looked at a farmers almanac or something..?

Changing your tires is better than not just incase your out and a blizzard hits. Also it doesn't have to be snowing for snow tires to be effective. The stopping time difference between the blizzaks and S02's in the winter will be great even on dry roads that are cold.

Ray - I don't think he has SO2s on a TSX.
The questions comes down to what make/model of tires are on the TSX. If they are classified a summer tire then I would recommend picking up a set of winter or all-season tires. If the tires you have now are all-season - save your money.

Edit - just checked w/Tire Rack - the TSX comes with Michelin Pilot HX standard - an all-season tire. If this what your car has just save your money.

The OEM tires will peform just ok in the snow.

For the ultimate 1' plus snow traction, nothing beats a snow tire. Ask me (or Dave) how I know

Stock tires will get you by but in the cold, snow, ice, etc.... nothing
will work like a snow/winter tire.

BTW: No such thing as " All Season " tires.
