Wow! What an attitude you have.

 

Well c'mon man, u live in Canada...I'd expect better from you.

What makes people think awd makes a difference if you dont have snow tires?

 

my Hankook optimo all seasons took on the blizzard new yorkers had last year. we had over 2 feet of snow, no problems at all. Very impressed on the winter performance on the truck and tires.

 

Are your snow tires mounted on separate rims? Did you have to get them from mitsubishi? Do you need to buy an additional set of tire pressure monitor transmitters? This seems to make the whole winter tire idea cost prohibitive.

Where do you live? Does it snow or get below 5 degrees? then yes you need snow tires. Snow tires are manadotry in certain parts of Canada.

Mine are on separate rims, you can get steel rims for $40.

You can buy tires/wheels anywhere almost

If you want to keep stock rims and just change tires then no you dont need new TPMS

If you get new rims, then you need tpms. I dont because i can tell when my tires need air as 99% of us should be able to.

Actually having 2 sets of tires extends the life of you tires, becasue all seasons wear faster in cold conditions.

 

well i just came back from a Montreal trip and guess who came with me, you guessed right my outlander. went skiing last friday at mont-tre-blanc "sorry if misspelled". Friday night on the drive home to St. Adele, 6 inches of fresh powder had fallen all over including wind gusts of 50 mph. all i have to say is wow, my baby took it like a champ. grant it i was extremely careful and wasn't speeding or making stupid moves, but i had no slippage while driving them crazy mountain curves and steep hills, except for one seriously dangerous down hill where it slipped about 5 feet but traction control kicked in along with my skills and got it in control quickly. this is all on Hankook Optimo all season tires. let just say i give you Canadians credit for the bad weather driving you must go threw sometimes. But i can only imagine this truck on some good snow tires indeed it would be a beast.

 

I live in Winnipeg, Manitoba. I'm a firm believer in winter tires and have them on my other vehicle. I like them on separate rims so I can pop them on or off in my garage. When you put your winter rims on, minus tpms sensors, does the idiot light stay on all winter long? That would bug me. Personally I don't really need the tpms thing. I check my tire pressures every month or two and have never had a problem.

 

ya crappy service light stays on.

 

If you have the Lexia device, you can turn off TPMS.

 

Here is my car with snow tires.
Winter tires on separate disks.
In the summer is stored in the garage. With the advent of winter, he rented summer tires with wheels and winter tires put on the disks.
The work lasts 30 minutes.
Check the tire pressure gauge individual 1-2 times a week.
