"Oh - and if your truely want EVERY advantage in the snow - get a set of chains (again, 4 if you have 4wd) and toss them in the trunk. You might use them 1-2 times a decade, but when you need them, there is nothing like them "

Amen. But before you toss them in the trunk, try installing them. Find out if they FIT and what kind of monkeying around is needed to get them installed. Do it in good weather at the time of your choosing so you don't waste your time lying in snow trying to make chains go onto tires that are 2 sizes bigger than stock.....

Turns out our Floridian is going to take a job in a building I worked in for a period. So we have lots to talk about.

Wonders of the Internet :-)
