All-Season or Dedicated Winter Tires?

[gtstang462002]

For my "winter tires" I run Pirelli P Zero All Season Plus 3 UHP All Season on a set of PP wheels w/25mm spacers on my Dark Horse. I have been thoroughly impressed with their cold weather grip on this car. That being said when they start laying down salt on the roads here in southern MD the car gets parked in the garage until it has sufficiently been washed off the road. I have a 15 year old truck that I drive during that short window here.

But it really depends on where you live and what winters you have.

If you live in places where you have hills, always get dedicated winter tires.

I'm in a country where it can get really cold and snowy but everything is flat. And effectivly we only get around 8 to 14 days a year of real snowy days.

The area I live in doesn't have too many hills, but the city I commute to/from for work is full of them. This comment has convinced me - I will get a dedicated set of winters, and based on recommendations in here it will be the Michelin X-Ice.

Thanks, all!

My Viking 7 tires have done amazing in Chicago in deep snow for the past 4 years. The all seasons can't keep up when it snows more than 2 inches and get really sketch. I prefer my rwd Mustang over my wife's gti with all seasons in the snow.
