Snow tire question

[johnner1999]

I know it's not snow season at least in the Northeast - bought just traded in a Subaru for a 2011 base Insight.

I've got a steep driveway but short maybe 2.5 cars long - what snows are best for digging up a driveway I hope I'll be fine without the Subaru since we really don't get continuous snow storms.

Thanks in advance -- oh loving the near 48mpg on my daily commute which is mostly back roads!

Anyone try these snows from pirelli?

It sounds like you are describing my driveway. I live in West Michigan and we have an average winter snowfall around 75". I usually keep my driveway clear of snow but at times there may be 4-5" when coming home. I have to make a 90 degee turn into the driveway but find if I can enter at about 10-15 mph and slowly let up on the gas pedal so I do not spin the tires I can easily get in my garage. I have never had a winter driving problem with the orginal tires.
