      I run the same all seasons all year long. I may replace them soon on the truck though, they're getting tired. I subscribe to the theory that if it requires extra effort for me to go there, I didn't need to go that badly. Winter tires are straight out as a result.

            Nice photos. Haven't had winter tires since the early 1980's so almost forgot what they look like!

                Those do look badass. How loud are they?

                I'll hopefully be putting on snow tires next month. This will be my first winter driving rwd exclusively, but I think I'll be fine except for my family's driveway and the road I live on. The ~20mi of state highway I take to work and school are cleared pretty regularly, but it's the quarter mile of country road between the house and the highway that usually makes or breaks it.

                      With the studs at lower speeds people say it sounds like a flat tire. It doesn't bother me at all. A little bit of safety in exchange for creature comfort.
