I need to echo the same sentiments others have about our stock tires...NOT FOR SNOW!!

[instylz]

I tried to get to work today....got about 1/2 mile away from my house and had to turn back. There is no braking you can't go over 5 mph and they leave you with a pit in your stomach as your going to feel like your moments away from hitting something at any given time. Please guys if you don't have the money for snow tires don't drive your car. I almost got into two accidents today. I'm going to have to let her sit until I have money for steelies ...(at least when it snows)
I know some of you even at this very moment don't believe me and want to chance it....(i know I was the same way) DON'T!!!!!

I agree with you 100%. Don't like placing my life in the hands of Sir Isaac Newton.
