currently on the 19" conti or 18" Michelin? Willing to drive carefully or want the car to do all the work? Want to save money or want to pay for the best possible solution?
I have the 18 inch, obv will be driving carefully, but I obv don't wanna wreck the brand new year car for not having appropriate tires. I just don't know how important winter tires are and how much it would cost me. I'f from LA so not much experience in this area
No brainer. Get winter tyres.I the AWD model 3 with the regular tires and was wondering if I will need winter tires, any ideas?
Our roads are plowed enough that driving on inches of snow is uncommon but driving on ice is months at time some seasons.If you don’t mind a few fender benders or being stuck home when it snows 4 inches, then sure, stay on those no season tires.

LOL, using summer tires, vs all seasons, in snow is crazy. They don't even really work all that well just above 0C, you'll lose a lot of traction (longer stopping distance) around 5C (40F) give or take depending on the tire. The more aggressive performance ones actually start breaking some time after it reaches freezing (true racing tires can get this cracking even above 0C).Check out this comparison of AWD w/ summer tires vs. RWD w/ winter tires:

Do you drive carefully enough to skip car insurance too?
Snow tires are insurance.
People don’t plan on snow squalls, or traveling on a road that didn’t get plowed yet. Or plan on a snow storm that wasn’t forecasted while you’re at work. Or black ice that formed due some melting during the day. Or needing to emergency stop before hitting grand ma crossing the road when your only doing 20 mph on a slick road. Or even stopping on a cold dry road because all seasons in cold weather stop worse.
I always laugh when I see something like “be careful”. It’s the careful people that properly equip their car for winter. It’s careless ones that don’t.
It’s cheaper for me to runs snows than not to.
