Re: Tire confusion
One last bit of info...be aware that real snow tires (they are marked with a mountain/snowflake symbol on the sidewall) are meant for use in winter only. Their softer rubber will not last long when driven on dry pavement...one to two seasons max.
Thus, most people who opt for dedicated snow tires buy them in addition to an all-season or summer set of tires. Some will even buy a second set of rims to make swapping them out easy in the garage.
Just be forewarned before plopping down big bucks for tires that may not give you the life span you are expecting.
