Thanks for all the input. The requirements of the SnowFlake series
helped me make the decision to not have them studded.
As for snow-tire brand wars, I got "BFGoodrich Trailmaker Plus" in
155/80/13 for my 89 CRX from a wholesale club for $37 apiece. I
wasn't looking to spend alot of money, I just needed something more
capable than the no-longer-legal A509s on the car now. I also got to
"try-before-I-buy" on a friend's identical car, and the performance
was by far good enough for me.
I can't compare them to any of the other brands though, since I've
never driven a car with any kind of snow tires before. My parents
are firm believers that the all-season tire elimintaes the need for
dedicated snows. I wrecked enough rims on my Ex-scort to know better
though.
Might see you in South Bend,
