Replying to: wolftim (May 21, 2005 10:45 am) Normally I would agree with you. However, I was in the fortunate situation this year when I got a free set (4) of Dunlop snow tire mounted on steel rims for free, to go on my Subaru Forester. Untill I had had these snow tires, I was perfectly content with the stock all-season tires; but even here in Maryland, where we don't get that much snow, I did notice a big difference in traction with the snows mounted.   Bob Replies to this message: harbachj (May 22, 2005 12:42 pm)

Replying to: rsholland (May 21, 2005 4:45 pm) I agree that winter tires are far superior to all-seasons in the snow. I have had winter tires on both my previous front wheel drive cars and they sure make a difference. However this is at expense of performance on dry roads. My thinking at not getting the sport package was that the 17 inch tires were summer type therefore I would be faced with buying winter tires on top of the $1800 package. I thought I would try the stock 16 inch Bridgestones next winter to see how they perform in snow with AWD. If I am not happy I'll take them off and intall a set of winter tires. In any case this way I will have two sets of mounted tires and wheels for easy changeover for at least $2000 less than getting the sport package and then second set of mounted tires for winter.   Jim
