    as seen in other post. My winter setup is on the car. As of now I have Firestone Firehawk GTs. Crappy all season tires.

    But as of today I have way better real all season tires on order Vredestein Quatrac 5 https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Vredestein&tireModel=Quatrac+5 They have the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol that makes them a better wet/winter tire for all seasons. https://www.tirerack.com/winter/tech/techpage.jsp?techid=125

    So in the next week or so im swapping out tires

    These threads always get my interest to see what you all go with.

    I put my winter tires on when I winterize our boat.

    Oh,
    wait a minute, they are the same tires that came on the car, because we don't have winter in South Texas.
