Recently it has started to snow here. Do you guys think I will have trouble driving the car in the snow? It is a 4x4 but I wonder how bad the tires become on the snow.

Do you guys recommend me changing to All-Seasons right away? If so, how much can I sell those brand new Run-Flats for?
If they are the Dunlop Sports Maxx tires...they are awful in the snow....like a hog on ice without skates....i switched to a different all season tire last year...still wasn't a lot better but you could tell the difference. The sport tires just slid and slid even at slow speeds. There is just no traction for snow with those.
To sell them could be hard based on the season....i'd check tirerack for the price depending on what kind they are.

Most dealers don't tell you all the needs of the car when you buy it..ie, snow tires or snow rims etc.
