I'm needing a new set this year and thought it would be interesting to see what other people use, if they use them at all. I need dedicated winter rubber because of a few rallies plus a drive between Chicago and Denver and back. In addition to snow at rallies there is always the chance of blizzards and ice storms on this long trip. So I do feel I need separate winter tires. Plus it lets me choose better tires for the rest of the year.
