Snow or Ice?

Sometimes you can't just decide to not drive your car. If you're at work and it suddenly starts snowing you gotta get home. In the first "epic blizzard" this happened

Sometimes you can't just decide to not drive your car. If you're at work and it suddenly starts snowing you gotta get home. In the first "epic blizzard" this happened to me and I had to get home. There is no way I was staying at work. I basically drove sideways from columbia to catonsville on 29 and 70 on the summer tires. Not fun and scary as hell. I ended up getting a set of michelin x-ice tires. Still haven't driven them in the snow/ice but they are a lot more grippy than the summer tire will be at 50 degress and below. The summer tires in the cold winter feel like riding around on 4 giant hockey pucks. Its dangerous and I don't recommend it. If you can't afford two sets of wheels and its your dd I would go with all seasons.

Also throw in there the snow tires are half as loud as the stock tires were.
