| RE: All Season Tires
I'm running Cooper Weathermasters and last winter I had no problems in "Buffalo white outs"
But yes - you are right - you will need some nice winter tires....there is a list out there of what not to use....might want to check the tire rack section of this site...
Good luck - be safe

and here is some math I made to justify a winter set and a summer set of wheels...see if it makes any sense for you -
Approximates-
$15 to mount and balance per tire at local business
4 tires
$60 total
get 3 years out of the tires
$180
2 driving seasons per year
$360
plus time
High Miles-
40,000 – miles for life of tires
16,000 – miles per year???
8,000 – miles per season
40k (life of tire) / 8k (1/2 year on 16,000 miles per year) = 5 changes
$60 x 5 = $300 x 2 = $600
plus time
