Re: Favorite Winter Tires????

[Jim Buck <vwpride@mixi.net>]

I have Goodyear Eagle GWs that came on the car when I bought it.  Made in
Germany no less?  Haven't had the chance to see if they are worth a darn but it
looks like they will.  F1 rain tire tread pattern littered with sipes.  Do you
drive on snow more or ice more.  Sipes grip the ice and snow holding ability
makes for snow traction.  A good snow tire will actually hold snow in the
tread, and grip the snow on the ground way better than rubber.
