Snow or Ice?

Vicster

Hey everyone!

Quick question of opinion for those of you living/working in and around the DC/MD/VA area.

I have been doing a lot of reading and research lately for a good set of winter wheels. It looks like there is a fine line between getting snow tires such as the LM-60s or a set of ice tires such as the X-Ice's. I know we get our occasional pile of snow outside here in these parts, but in all fairness I probably won't get stuck in it much myself as I would just call out of work. By the next day (usually) the roads are clear of snow and life goes on. I would imagine that a more ice oriented tire may be more appealing with this being the case but I wanted to get other's opinions. So, in this area, snow or ice? Reasons?

I really appreciate any advice/stories anyone has to offer!

Have a safe winter everyone!
