Snow tires....yes, it reads SNOW tires!
Reminder that if you are going to need them, now is the time to order them. Procrastinate and you will be on the back-order list.

Get Bridgestone Blizzacks. Limited to 140kph but got me through 2-3 foot snow drifts in the FX45.
My set is ready & on rims with nitrogen in them to minimize oxidation of the rims. Compressed air has moisture and can eat the rims from the insides.

Plus the Nitro doesn't change pressure with changing outside ambient temps.

BTW, nitrogen's overrated... don't waste your money on it, unless it's free. LINK

Rick Hunter, agreed - nitrogen is overrated. I am more concerned by the issue of mositure when the rims and tires sit in the garage for 7 months of the year.

Re: Snow tires....yes, it reads SNOW tires!
dang, I'm glad I don't have to worry about that, I change enough tires for unable women [read: don't know how ] and elderly people at my job. Once every couple weeks is enough for me!

I've got Blizzak LM22s. They're pretty good on dry pavement and are reasonable in snow. Something with more bite would be preferrable if I had to face snow often through the winter.

We rarely have snow over here, but when we do the whole country grinds to a halt! I've never bothered with snow tires though, it's more of a challenge slippin-an-a-slidin on normal ones

Re: Snow tires....yes, it reads SNOW tires!
agree with sp3ctre. We rarely get snow, but when we do chaos ensues.
So I'm ready to escalate the situation:
First season with a Z4 coming up so I'll give it a go and no doubt have great fun
If that fails I'll switch to the X5
...and if all else fails it's one of my Jeeps:
Bring on your worst this year.......
