Winter Driving
Does anyone drive their cab through the winter? I typically do, but in the past I don't really get out much when there is snow on the ground. It appears this winter in SW Ohio I will need drive in the snow. It figures, my last winter before I move the Florida. I just changed the summer tires to a rather well worn set of all seasons. Any suggestions on ways to make the car handle a bit better in the snow? Since this is my last winter in the snowy midwest, I don't really want to buy a set of winter tires for only 3 months.

I have spent most of my life in Northern Ohio and have driven performance rear wheel drive cars in the winter. You have to be very careful and need great skills to drive in snow or ice. I now keep my E550 cab at my Florida house where it is perfect. When up North in Winter I drive the Audi or Mercedes R350. Both all wheel drive cars. I leave the Fiat Spider locked in the storage garage. You should drive the EOS if there is snow or ice on the road. I really don't think different tires would make enough of a difference.
