Summer tires BABY! If the snow sticks, its BC Transit :-( I had to try and drive home on Victoria's first day of snow, cause I was parked downtown in a 2 hour zone. I woke up and looked out the window, and totally freaked out to see it snowing and sticking! Car sled like crazy, made it half way home. I sled into the next lane, lucky no car was beside me. Decided to shut her down after that. So please, NO SNOW!!!!!

What?? I live in Saskatchewan; A month ago (or more), I got my car stuck at work in the snow with my summer tires (for 4 days!). I would not be able to leave my house period, without winter tires right now. Also... I can hear my undercarriage scraping on the snow grooves in the road. *laughs*

Evil Winter is almost here. I personally will not be driving my car in the snow, and i highly suggest others don't. I live in Nj and my mechanic tells me all the time about how 4 of his prev G35 customers lost their cars in the snow. RWD is bad on all platforms that aren't dry. Plus, I almost died the first time I drove my car on snow! Good luck to those who must drive their cars in the snow and be careful.

Mandatory winters is a very safe way to go, but it doesn't make sense everywhere for sure. If they can make it a municipal mandate, i think it'd work better. If you lived in Toronto now you'd be wearing away your winters. I've been in Calgary for 15 years and I think last year was the only year I wasn't able to ride my bike on the street in every month. A lot of cities don't need winters as a rule.

IMO if it's not "Mandatory", the wise will do it and the others won't. Still leaves me looking out for those that exercised their rights in a snowstorm.
Safe driving everyone whatever you're on.

Also, it doesn't matter if there isn't much snow. it's the cold temps that are bad.
