i have to echo oliver1, the conti-touring tires handled fine in winter weather...3-4 inches on kent island, plus another bout of driving in 8+ in the suburbs of philly.

like some of you, this is my primary car (also my first rear-wheel drive vehicle and i debated long and hard as to whether to keep the sebring lxi which did great in any amounts of snow, as did my lasers and such before...gotta love that front wheel drive!...anyway, decided not to hold onto the sebring and can't say i'm disappointed so far). afterall, when mother nature has a fit, isn't that what work-at-homed days are made for!

safe travels everyone. bonster (alabaster auto-stick)
