Snow Tires

Ya, don't start bashin me for driving my car in the snow. I just don't have the option of a "beater" to pay for and use for winter. But my parents bought me some pretty good snow tires. FYI, I only drive to and from college from Dutchess County to Suny Morrisville(In the snow belt) which is 3hrs away. I don't go out and drift in the snow every chance i get. Tell me what you think.

*And I'm pretty sure salt can't rot through them por-15 floorboards...

Just make sure you use four snow tires, remember you need steering beside traction. I once had to drive in the snow. but not now.
