So, does anyone do any interesting tire thing for the winter weather?
I know we can use studded tires in Ohio over the winter months, but
I've never actually bothered. Do they help much? Do they wear much, or
can they last a few seasons? Do people keep a separate set of winter
tires and pay a garage to swap all the tires over twice a year? (You
don't need different wheels too, right?)

Hmmm - now I wonder if one's required to have tires that are rated for
the top speed of the car.

Anyhow, I know almost nothing about this stuff, and was wondering if I
should start finding things out, as I remember some long drives home
last year that were in very slippery conditions, although I do at
least have 4-wheel ABS and traction assist, which help a little.

I was interested to see how few people were cited in that big pileup
on I-80 - I'd have thought that people not driving such that they
could safely stop in what they could see was clear were breaking a law
of some kind.

And, apologies if I write "tyres" sometimes. (-:
