After searching past posts about snow tires, I couldn't find much about how the TCH does with stock tires. I have the Bridgestone Turanzas with about 8,000 miles on them. They still have plenty of tread left on them. For those of you who have driven in the snow, does the TCH need snow tires? I live in Central Oregon, where we end up with packed snow or ice covered roads on and off throughout the winter. Since the TCH is front wheel drive and has traction control, I was wondering if snow tires (studded or studless) would provide a significant improvement for traction. Typically driving style itself (such as driving slower) seems to be a good tactic, and not much will help on ice covered pavement. Last winter I had studless snow tires on my Tundra, and found they helped, but the Tundra is a totally different vehicle. The TCH is my first car/sedan daily driver so I would like see what you guys have to say.
