It's nearly impossible to judge the road surface ahead of you in winter night when you are cruising on high way well above 70km/hour. Besides, don't forget highway gust in
winter.

If your driving is strictly limited to local in city, you could possibly save this money by and large.

I had a dozen of winter day and night long distance (700KM -1500KM/trip) driving experiences with average cruising speed at around 90-110km/hour. Without a set of winter tire, I incurred 2 dangerous yet lucky highway skids in the first winter and totaled my first car evetually in the third skid accident during the 2nd winter .

On the other hand, since with the second car having Winter tires on, I never have experienced a single skid on highway anymore. However, even with winter tires, I was still very nervous and paid special attention while changing lane and turning around.

Winter driving in local is a piece of cake to any one, so long as s/he observes some winter driving rules and has a set of good shaped A/S tires. I even could do some stunts on snowy local roads. However, the bloated confidence nearly cost my life.

I really don't need anyone to buy my story. However, it maybe helpful to the ones concerned about this issue.

This is my closing words on this thread. Good Luck!更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
