    Wouldn't go without winter tires. Unless you've driven your vehicle both with and without them I don't think you can truly appreciate the difference they make. I have winters on rims for the Festival and our van and change them over myself... takes 30-45 minutes per vehicle to do the switch.

    I just purchased and had 4 new 145 R12 Yokohamas put on my Festy. Just the difference from my old tires to these are like night and day. Much better handling in the snow. I'm sure snow tires are even that much better!

      I always run Studded snow tires on separate rims, and change them every season..... putting the new 12" studded tires on old yellow was a great idea since we got snow for the first time in awhile (only lasted for the weekend tho)..... on another note if anybody has one studded 12" tire on a rim I need it as one of my sets only has 3 12" studded snow tires.
