1. Quality winter tires. I use Blizzak's which have been reliable so far, even though they're 19" 245/275. Thinner and skinny tires are usually the way to go but I wanted ones that looked good.
2. Always leave the traction control on. I've only ever turned it off to get my car out of a snow drift after leaving it outside overnight. 3. Be in the highest gear you can for whatever speed you're driving, it helps. 4. Take corners nice and slow, who cares if there is a bit of traffic behind you, at least you won't oversteer too badly. 5. Don't floor it from a stop, get a nice rolling start and then accelerate. 6. Move somewhere tropical. My experiences are based on suburban driving in southern Ontario where our roads get plowed pretty quickly but they're still slick. I'm confident enough in my own driving to not really worry. What I do worry about is some goof in the car behind me who thinks he doesn't need new tires after twenty years.
