I just recently moved from Auburn University to Penn State.

Needless to say, from an area with a mild winter to an area where snow and ice is a given.

I generally walk to class and the only time I drive is to go to the store so here's the dilemma.

Should I buy snow wheels and tires or could I make it by with the Continental ExtremeContact DWS?

I left the new car in Atlanta and decided to pimp the tC around for the 1st year.

 

those extremes are really nice quality tires dont look back!

 

Please give input, simply viewing the thread isn't helpful

 

So nothing beats a good set of snow tires... period.

BUT... if you're really not going to be driving that much, it doesn't make that much sense to spend that kind of $$ on both wheels and tires. If you have some common sense while driving and don't try to drive through a foot of snow or anything, the Contis will be fine. I made it through quite a few winters on all-seasons before finally getting snow tires. All depends on the driver.

BTW, I'm about 2 hours north of you and graduated PSU about 7 yrs ago.... (holy ____ that makes me feel old).
