I forgot how poorly my Genesis is in the Snow...

Have you ever considered the Nokian WR G3's... would you say I get the Conti DWS over those or should I give the Nokains a shot, they are an all weather with the severe snowflake and mountain rating... I live in Shakopee, Minnesota.. nervous about my first minnesota winter with my genny.

Does Nokian make a tire that fits the stock rims? (not that you have to).

Most folks recommend Blizzaks or X-ice in the Genny stock size. Fortunately I get to keep my MPSS on all winter

Winter tires are great, but circumstances vary. Climate, typical road conditions, plowing/salting, and need to drive in really bad snow makes a difference. So has tire technology. I put on a set of Nokian WRG3 with a real snow rating, but they can be used year round. Fantastic tire, IMO. Much better than a typical all season yet they are a good summer tire too.

Some people just should not drive in snow. A few years back on my way to work I could see the reflection of emergency lights. As I rounded the turn, the was a woman, about 60 off the road. Not real serious, but needed help. On my way home there is a curve in the road on a down hill. There she was again, off the road.

I retired in the spring. This winter I'm not driving in bad snow, I'll just watch traffic on TV until the roads are cleared.
