Here you can get fined if you do not have winter tyres on in winter. Not only can it cope with snow better but it is softer and can adapt to cold temperature much better while summer tyres may slide even if there is no snow.
-
Do you have to change your tires 2x a year then? Or do people just leave on winter tires all year long? I'm from a place w/o snow obviously!
-
You should change tyres when temperatures start dropping below 5 celcius, you can get away with summer tyres but when the snow comes they are dangerous and unpredictable. A rear wheel drive car is completely useless in snow/ice but with winter tyres on they are surprisingly good and will beat most front wheel drive cars with normal tyres.
In summer, you don't want winter tyres on. My old car used to wheelspin in 4th gear when temperatures were too warm for the winter tyre! Now I use the 4WD truck in winter and RWD car in normal conditions with summer tyres on.

Hell, just leave the car at home and strap on the snowshoes. About -15C that day on the trail.

Not a chippy for miles, Oliver.
I don't know, these guys can get a little chippy if you piss em off
That's my boot next to a grizzly track, on the same river bank in the snow photo, just before the snow fell.

Great pictures Dale.
For us snow is something you must drive to. Our dogs know how to play in it--though they see it so seldom.

Hi folks.
Here in Quebec, you have to put winter tires no later than december 15th, its the law. Four seasons tires are not recomended since they loose their grip when temperature is below -5°C or so. Since this kind of temperature is common from December to March and sometimes April, it is much safer to use winter tires. BTW, the law prohibit 4 seasons tires in winter because of that lack of adherence in cold temperatures.
On my car, I have two sets of rims, one with winter tires and one with summer tires. I change the wheels myself, twice a year. Its only a one hour job, its good exercise and I save a few $$$.
Just ideas.

Here's another fun one. This is my old car - BMW 335xi after a heavy storm! You have to look closely.

We had some snow recently in Dallas, not much but hey this is Texas.
My dog loved it so much he even sniffed it like it was Cocaine:
Then he signed his name in the snow like we all do, sure it may not look like much, but at least it's more legible than a doctors handwriting.
