Joe: Your wagon looks great in red! Havent' seen many in red.

When I bought my 2000 Gary Fisher wagon in August, I was warned to not even think about driving the 225/45x17s in the snow. I was lucky enough to find a lightly used set of studded Gislaved Nordfrosts on Saab wheeels, which is my preferred way of fighting a winter. I'm in Rochester NY and we don't often get serious snow, but I like to know that I've got everything going for me when I go out driving in the winter. 4 studded snows give me the confidence that I want for the winter.

I've also noted that with what little snow we've had this winter that the TCS is bothersome, but I havent driven in enough bad stuff yet with this car to try it without the TCS.

Tim B I hope you choose to get snows.

Best for the new year to all.
Bob
