I don't usually drive mine in the winter, but had to one day this year to get it home from the mechanic- I couldn't tell you what kind if tires I have on it, but they are worthless in the winter. I drove 13 miles on packed snow at about 35 mph because I was all over the road. They don't salt the roads up here. I am definitly going to put different tires on it before I go full-time since you never know what you might run into. I'm going to say the tires would make all the difference.

Never regret.
If it's good, it's wonderful.
If it's bad, it's experience.
