A set of all-seasons in the tri-state would work fine.

He's obviously on the stock tires LOL. Another thing is he's definitely not babying it or driving real slow. Stop with the heavy foot and get snow tires n00b

This is the first time that I heard that in "Snow" setting, more torque is transfered to the rear then "Gravel" setting.

Anyway, All Season tires should help.

So I guess that I shouldn't buy shaved Neovas for the winter season.

So snow setting doesn't change the tires to winter ones?...Hmmm...Weird...I would take it to a dealer and tell them about this problem.
