I am thinking of replacing the worn michelins on my new 1995 850 with a set of Kumho Ecsta HP4 716 from tirerack.com. I would like to avoid buying separate winter tires so I would like to know if anyone here has driven these tires through snow and ice. I live in a cold climate and would appreciate your input. Thanks.

    Look into Nokian WR formerly NRW I believe they are the only all season tire rated as a snow tire.
