The short version is that I don’t worry about getting stuck. Sure, I don’t want to get stuck. In fact, I might put snow tires on just to avoid getting stuck. But that’s not why I buy snow tires, certainly not for my four wheel drive truck.
I buy snow tires so I can stop and steer. While four wheel drive is great for going, it’s not enough (without traction) to stop and steer. And as an Erie lawyer who’s seen a boatload of Erie winter car accident injuries, take it from me when I say winter driving is all about stopping and steering.
So, every year at this time I drag my winter tires out of the garage and go to my friendly neighborhood tire dealer (shout out to the guys at Kerr’s Tire Korner at 10th & Holland near Jerry Uht Park) and have those snow tires put on. It’s a pain and it’s a little expensive, but we think it’s worth it and highly recommend them to our friends, clients and family.
