I just ordered a set of these Winterforce tires for the up coming thrashing New England is about to receive. For the money, its hard to go wrong. It will be a big relief knowing i can take my Azenis off when it snows.

[/QUOTE] suck it dude, as long as it's above 32 degrees i wash mine by hand in the driveway. put a glove on one hand and deal with it. no pain no gain. when it gets real cold though i do those manual carwashes, costs about $2.00 and the pressure washer helps with the salt.

That's why you should be using four winter tires on a front drive car. Also they should be the same brand due to the compounds and tread patterns used. At the very least all four tires should match in tread pattern.
