Well it's almost Winter, and i've been wondering lately if I should get winter tires.
I live in Atlanta where there isn't a lot of snow or ice, but last year we had a little bit of snow and ice and those stock Goodyear Eagle LS tires gave me very little grip.
In fact, I almost crashed because I had so little grip and I couldn't stop because I was on snow and ice...and I was only going less then 10 MPH.

I will probably be getting some summer tires fitted to some new wheels, so i've been wondering if I should get some snow tires for my steelies too.
But seeing as how i've never used snow tires, I don't know if I need them and if I should just stick with the Eagle LS tires and drive really really really slow.

What is your input guys?

I'm trying to get some steelies and snow tires for sure. That's my plan.
