Default Snow tires in NJ?
I have a 1998 V70 that came with two Blizzak snows. They're almost spent. Can I get by with good all-weather tires on this car?

I lived in Chicago and now Wisconsin, and I never put snows on a car. Seems good all weather tires do just fine.

If all else fails just hit the winter button and then you will start out in 3rd gear and get more traction.

Okay, now that I have the answer, i.e all weathers instead of snows, any all weather favorites I should look for? Is Tire Rack better than Costco?

Sorry I can't help you on that one haven't lived in Jersey in 9 years.

And when I did I had a truck with big tires.

I usually go to a tire store for a recomendation and a quote. Then I go elsewhere to price shop. Sometimes I wind up back at the tire store. I always prefer asking the pros.
