Do You need snow tires for winter?
Hi guys, I have a question about 240 in winter season. This is my first time I will use a rear wheel drive car in winter and I live in New Jersey so i am preety sure It will snow. I have almost new Yocahama all season tires in the back but now I ask myself should I get winter tires. Also my front tires are not new but not bad would it make a difference if I put new winter tires on front?
thanx

I'm in Pennsylvania and last year it snowed alot. I drove my 240 the whole time, with regular worn tires. As long as I drove slow I was alright, like keeping it in 2nd slow. I'd shift into 3rd to try and go a little faster and I'd slowly start to spin so I'd just brake a little and put her back in 2nd.
Also sucked because the area where I live is all uphill from the area from where I work, so going there wasn't really a problem, a little scary at times, but getting back home was horrible. I got stuck on some of the smallest hills. I only live 10mins max from my work but then it took damn near an hour, most the time was trying to find a route where their were no hills. So I would say snow tires would probably help somewhat, but just using regular tires and maintaining safe speeds should do also.
