And you live in place that obviously needs them. You don’t live in Atlanta or even northern Georgia.

Snow tires can tear up the tarmac on most highways ( depending on the type of snow tire). Moreover it is hard on the tire to be driving in normal weather (temps 60 and above)....

I grew up in snow country and I know how to be prepared and stay safe. Now that I live in an area that only occasionally has snow it takes on a different meaning

Naw, I run new snow tires in the winter and then use the older ones in the summer as they make good rain tires.

Just now Blizzaks.

I even have qa set of studded snow tires for the sates where they are allowed. I just pull the studs from the worn tires to use them in the summer 'till they are done.

Having two identical vehicles helps to make full use of a multiplicity of tire/wheel sets.

Almost all tires are mud and snow rated these days.

They have no effect on the roads.

There is no time like snow time when it comes to major Southern cities. It is not for the wanted that Applebees serves up fare that is way too overpriced with respect to the quality served up. Can it be said of all of us that we have been to hell and back and then some? I do not like the Atlanta traffic either but you should fly into Hartsfield with a connecting flight that departs only ten minutes hence. Now that translates into some frantic out-of-breath running.

Snow? I'll give you some Atlanta snow. It's an intuitive way to sort the Sochi goings-on by weather event and date, and the events are listed by an actual American time zone. So there you go. Have fun everyone.
