exactly, all seasons are shit tires. they aren't good in the dry, they aren't good in the wet, they blow ass in the snow..

they are just there to be cheap...

they are a compromise tire...

summer tire = good dry, shit wet, don't even try snow...
winter = good snow/standing water, ok wet, not so great dry
all season = mediocre dry, mediocre wet, mediocre at best snow

If your summer tire is RE01R then = Crazy Dry, Crazy Wet, no snow``

lol.. i don't see the huge deal with buying snow tires. i've been driving the last 3 years on worn out all-seasons with zero crashes. as long as you slow down and pay attention to your car's reactions, you'll be fine. people only buy snow tires for the false sense of security they provide.

FYI my latest two cars:

1998 civic ek9, no p/s, 5spd, all season falken ziex 195/50/15 ran with about 40% tread last winter

1987 mazda 323, 5spd, USED all seasons with probably 50% tread, dunlop 185/50/14.

FF all-seasons driving in the snow ftw.

It's about being able to slow-down or stop. which most people will just hammer on.

Even with the invention of ABS... alot of retards are out there.... slamming into poles... You have a light car, and can probably turn out of most of that... where as the heavier cars... i dunno... just keep goin?

its more about CHANGING THE WAY YOU DRIVE, which most people are unwilling to do. they instead slap on winter tires and drive like its summer again. fyi, snow tires are only effective when its 4C or colder. when its dry and warmer, they perform worse than all-seasons. and yes, we do get those occasional dry/warm spots during our winter months (nov - mar). i just finished installing new falken ziex 205-50-15 and i will be using them during winter.

also, neither of my cars have/had abs. weight transfer is key in driving in slippery conditions. this is true for light and heavy vehicles.
