I have searched about this topic and got some good info, from what I can gather if I get snow tires I will have no problem, except in the heavy stuff. My question is right now my car has all season tires on it (Sumitomo HTR H4), I know snow tires will be better but will they be $400-$500 better, or will the all seasons be ok. Next question is, in terms of snow tires I have found a pretty good deal on Pirelli Winter 210 SnowSport, 4 for around $200-250. What do you guys think of the tires, should I spend the extra $$$ and get blizzaks? Thanks in advance.

 

ERRR...are you gonna be daily driving it in the snow? Or weekends in the snow (crazy btw)? If your DD the thing i'd say better safe than sorry.

 

Unfortunatly the S2K is my daily driver, I inteded on buying a winter beater but I don't have the cash right now.

 

you better off taking that tire money and buying a beater.. basically the car is immovable in the snow... DONT DO IT TO YOUR SELF MAN! you dont want to smack up that prettty *** car .. im searching for one now and i know for damn sure i will not have it as a dd.

 

im screwed tomorrow if it freezes over ive got to be to work pretty early

Don't say something unless you've experienced it yourself. I drove 30+ miles on stock S02's in 3-4 inches of snow (not by choice, was supposed to rain that day). The car can move! I'm sure if I had snow tires, 3-4 inches would have been easy

 

Thanks for all the info, I am going to buy snow tires, unless I can find a beater that will get the job done for cheap.

 

Personally, I'd opt for a cheap beater. You can find a EF/EG Civic for real cheap. Then slap some snows on those and you're ready to go. You could set all of this up for under $1000 easy.

 

I have been in a $400 winter beater for 2 winters now. It depends on how much your willing to give up to own a seasonal car. I don't mind driving a car that cost less than my header.
