Those in the North East, just looking for some feed back from anyone who had gone through the winter with the factory all season 19"'s and how they performed. I am a firm believer in summer performance tires and then a switch to performance winter tires, so it's been 15 years since I have driven on an all season tire in snow. I live in North Jersey so we are not talking Buffalo winters. I am picking up my GXP on Wednesday and it has arrived with the all season set up so i was thinking of ether keeping them for winter use and buying new summer tires or paying the dealer $160 to switch them out to the stock summer RE50's.

IF they RS-A's, spend fpor the swap out, and get dedicated winters. I have the All Seasons on my GT and while they are managable, I am so switching to dedicated snows next year with out a doubt

I found my all seasons to be junk in the winter. I got stuck on flat ground and bought a set of winter tires. Between the winter tires and some weight in the trunk the car has been great in the snow since. I'm now looking to swapping back over since it looks like we're probably done with the snow.

I bought Kumhos 19" all seasons. I drive 100 miles a day and they were really great in the snow. A very confident tire.

I purchased the same ones in December. They were fine in the snow/ice. Better than the RSAs, IMHO.
