Standard msport tires and the north east, do I need to change tires?
I ordered the he msport with the default tires.

I asked a lot of people about winter tires recently. I live in Chicago and I think for me all-seasons are totally fine.

100% agree. It does not take long to swap to separate winter wheels/tires for anyone. I do this for everyone in the household. Winter tires are way more suitable then all seasons in northern states and midwest. All seasons are a compromise and jack of trade master of none and will never go back to all seasons in winter. I have a local german independent shop that is a tirerack recommended installer that store your summer or winter sets respectively for a fee and swap them during fall and spring time. Its so easy.

Switch tires obviously makes sense. That said, I live in Minneapolis and never have had an issue with a good all season. Usually road are plowed and/or salted. The better all seasons give decent traction.
Biggest thing snow tires give is improved stopping and I totally get why people want that. I just drive more carefully if I feel the roads are slippery. Again in the metro area here it only is bad 5-10 days a year and the F15 has handled very well. Bad all seasons can be real trouble. Be ware of those. See Tire Rack for decent reviews on snow/ice traction. |

You can have the best winter tires known to man on your vehicle, but that still does not protect you from the other people on the road who either have no idea how to drive in inclement weather (which is like 90% of people on the road) and/or have the wrong vehicle on the road given the conditions.
I have come to the view (in my nearly 40 years of driving) that driving in snow is something I do only in an emergency (i.e., when I have to). Otherwise I stay off the road until things settle down a bit. Usually that amounts to one day at most (and usually only part of a day). |

Which 20" winter tires are even available for the 2019 GO5? I was not able to find any. Not even 19" winters. Run-flat or non-run flat. Looked on tire rack only.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks. |
