My last car (2003 OZ Lancer) with all season tires didn't do as good as my RA with the summer Yokohama's.

I have summer tires on, Sumitomo HTR Z IIIs (18/225s). Surprisingly I had no problem getting around with the inch to 2 inch of snow.

I'm looking around for a snow tire, but the weather has been so mild. I want to drive up north toward Canada for a road trip in a couple of weeks, thinking winter tires would be a good bet to use there.
