Make sure your tires have the right tread depth. They need to be able to bite into the snow or you won’t be getting anywhere on those mornings when snow fell all night and the plow just came through and made a wall of snow in front of your driveway. You will find making turns, stopping, and accelerating to be next to impossible. This is not a situation in which you can cross your fingers and hope your worn-out tires make it through the winter season.
