I wouldn't recommend the Goodyear LS for winter. I drove on mine when new during our first storm. Absolutely terrifying. Zero grip on a quarter inch of snow. Winters on immediately thereafter.
They are nice in the rain though. Better even than in the dry.

I concur on both points.

I've said before, these are all-seasons for Mexico. And you're close. Enjoy!

Yeah I went through last winter on them, and we had some serious storms. useless is the best way to describe them. At one point I had to park a block away from the house and walk home as that was as close as I could get to the house. I cant really afford two sets of tires, for winter/summer so I need to really start researching a good overall compromise.
