[QUOTE=THE_SOOTHSAYER;4341147]Besides reiterating that minivans are ghey I must also mention that snow tires are a sham and huge waste of money.

We got around 4 inches here on long island yesterday and when going to the gym yesterday morning on mostly unplowed roads my all-wheel drive vehicle with all-season Continental radials went through the snow like an Artic Cat Snowmobile.

Whoever talked you into the snow tires saw a sucker coming.

Snow tires aren't a waste of money. The only money spent is on changing them. Tires are a wear item so you're always wearing out one set anyway.
