Who wouldn't enjoy passing an SUV in the snow? But in an earlier post you stated that where you lived 'required' the special winter tires. But let's be clear....YOU require it for yourself, winter driving conditions didn't dictate that. A 2nd set of tires is just not practical for a majority of people. However, winter driving lessons should be MANDATORY. Sure, equipment can make a difference but 99% of it comes down to that carbon-based mass behind the wheel.
