[QUOTE="Bennett Prescott, post: 74162, member: 4"] Re: Winter question for cargo van owners Klaus speaks truth. Modern high end all seasons are pretty good, but there is no substitute for real winter tires. Tread depth, rubber temperature (this is the one they don't tell you about in school), micro tread for ice... it's pretty hard to get any vehicle with real winter tires really stuck unless you high center it. If you have the stock (read: cheap) all season tires on that your van came with they're probably solid as rocks below 50 degrees and are offering you substantially worse traction even on asphalt. Put them on snow and ice and you might as well be driving a toboggan. Even if I lived in a place where it never snowed but had temperatures around freezing four months out of the year I would put on winter tires. [/QUOTE]
