The key no matter the vehicle is TIRES! Good snow tires (not all-seasons) is your first and best defense for winter driving (after the loose nut behind the wheel). Then comes AWD (or it's lesser cousin 4WD) and traction control w/ABS. I've tried most major brands and Nokians are BY FAR the best. Right now I'm running the Nokian RSis. http://www.nokianrsi.com There are other good brands out there too but be careful! Some are a real rip-off. For example Blizzaks have siping, but only half way down the tread. That means when the tire is 50% worn your ice traction disappears. Nokians have full siping and a 50,000 mile warranty. So here'd be my suggestions for non-studded tires ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Mostly Snow and Ice driving: * Nokian RSi, Gislaved NordFrost, Vredestein WinTrac XTreme Mostly cold dry highways: * Nokian WR, Pirelli P Zero Nero M+S, Dunlop Graspic or M3 or GrandTrek Any ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:185777 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
