The KDW is a SUMMER tire and doesn't fare well in ice or snow at all!! If you can't put a different tire/wheel set-up on your car...I'd consider renting/borrowing another to make the trip.

Below is the standard set-up used by most Contour owners who have to endure extreme winter conditions (except those of us who live in the southern portion of the U.S. )
