WOW I was wondering how good the stockers are in the snow! I woused out and bought snow tires (only for like $600 total)

Maybe I didn't need to do that!

You did the right thing. The stockers are NOT for the snow...

Not to mention, you "almost got stuck" in like 2-3 inches of snow I have all seasons (which are admittedly not GREAT in the snow) and it took a foot of hard-pack to get myself stuck for a few minutes...I still managed to get out.

I'm thinking that in stead of getting dedicated snow tires that only last a couple to three season, just get a more aggressive all season tire for winter.

Althought it will not be "as good" as winter tires, they will last a hell of a lot longer!

Food for thought...
