    The 1st video about traction control is really a wake up call for thos still on the fence on getting a winter set-up. It is defintiely worth the buy...because it can, may and will save your car.... and your life.

    Best purchase I have ever made on my car. Keeping my family safe is well worth a couple hundred bucks.

    the first video compares summer tires to winter tires. comparing all season to winter would make more sense for our climate. anyone using summer tires in winter here is just creating problems, not just for themselves but for others as well.

    I feel that it's your responsibility if you are going to live in a climate that get's winter like ours does.

    Great videos. I already know this from living in Ottawa. Much more snow and ice than here. Winter tires get 'em.
