Put simply OP, the OEM tires are designed for summer driving. Once the temperature drops to freezing, the rubber hardens and loose a lot of grip. Any snow on the ground is only going to make it worst. Once they clear the road, you'll be fine...but I would go easy on the throttle. It's not impossible to drive with summer tires in very light snow, but I would avoid it if you can. A dedicated winter setup is best as some have suggested, but you can also your tire setup to All-Seasons if you're mostly doing normal daily driving.
already did, post #14. or take me out of your iggylist and you wont miss the goodness.
