Yup, guys who say all seasons are good enough...wait til you try good winter tires. Makes driving in a the snow almost a non-event.

I have winters on both my speed3 and CRV. Blizzak WS80's on the speed3 and Blizzak DM-V1's on the CRV.

4WD, winter tires and ground clearance make driving the CRV so easy in conditions like the last few days.
The speed3 still slips side to side when accelerating, with traction control kicking in. When turning left at an intersection, you can't just punch it and expect to pull out quickly, unlike the CRV.

I can't imagine how it would feel to drive something like a WRX/STi with winter tires out in weather like this. Must be awesome.
