PSA: use them even if you have a 4×4. Four-wheel drive only helps you go. Winter tires help you go, too, but will also help you stop and turn, which are pretty darned important.

Any traction system on your car will only perform as good as the rubber on your tires allows it to.

Very true, summer tires on a wrx won’t cut it, I’ve seen them in the ditch before

A lot of the mud tires on big trucks are terrible in the snow.

My last pickup had snow rated tires, they were fantastic. The new one will get them when the current tires need replacing.

PSA winter tires are designed to operate at 45F and lower temperatures. The rubber is very soft and will figuratively, with the potential to literally, melt. Also they are expensive as fuck, especially if you choose to buy another set of wheels.

Wow, what a splendid idea!!! Let me just pull out my fucking Monopoly money to pay for my new extra set of snow tires.

Pretty sure you’ll need legal tender bub. Save some of that 420 money and you’ll get there!

Lol nice comeback? A little weed that I use for a severe medical condition, has nothing to do with the fact that I can’t dish out almost $1k or more for snow tires. Even if I did manage to come up with that kind of money, I live in an apartment building and have absolutely nowhere to store them. Get a fucking clue buddy, not everyone has some comfy ass life like you clearly do. Kindly eat shit. EDIT: Oh, and did I mention I’m from Massachusetts? Just wanted to give you an extra reason to hate me😉😘

Ok toots, sorry you’re big mad over my general suggestion that it would be prudent to purchase snow tires for inclement weather. Your personal situation and where you’re from is irrelevant to the fact that snow tires make driving in snow safer. I hope you’re able to find some peace and happiness despite the animosity and hatred that you’re clearly harboring.

You stated something so ridiculously obvious, like I’d honestly be shocked if anyone in New England wasn’t aware of the fact that snow tires are the safer option. I think you’re ignorant for suggesting that everyone should buy snow tires as if it’s super affordable. It’s not. And then you try to shame me because I have a medical condition and a medical marijuana card? You don’t even know me, don’t tell me why I can’t afford things in my life. Like I said, you’re ignorant AF.

Your reading comprehension is as piss poor as your demeanor and social skills but your ability to jump to wild conclusions is on point. I sure hope to never run into you on the roads or in person!
