so anyone out there thinking they can make it ok with the 330i summer sport tires, no way. i live in cincy and i had my doubts about needing winters, but today i realized my purchase was totally worth it. now i just need to get the things mounted before more snow hits next week.

NO KIDDING !!! THANKS, I NEVER WOULD HAVE GUESSED that high performance summer tires would leave you stranded on snow.
Any other advice? Is smoking really bad for your health? Will bubble gum be hard to get off your soles if you step into it?
