DO NOT RUN THEM UNLESS YOU WANT TO DIE! Since you're not used to driving in Buffalo's snowy roads, don't even try driving here on summer tires. I lived here for 6 years, and last year was the first one I "tried" to drive on my Firestone Firehawk SZ50 when we had the 18" blizzard. I knew it was bad to drive with them so I took the car out around the neighborhood to see how bad it is. I barely made my way out of my own driveway after a lot of digging with my mini-shovel. Then I went on for a mile drive around the neiborhood, and I proceeded to get stuck 5 times. It took me 45 minutes to get back to my house. The day after I had to drive to get my all-season tires mounted on the old wheels at a place 15 miles away. I was going about 15mph the whole way and the whole car was drifting uncontrollablly. People (most of them have never seen Buffalo's winter) that say you can get by with the summer tires mean just that, you can get by for a little bit of short trips on plowed roads. But if you were here yesterday you'd be phucked because we just got about 10" of snow the night before, City of Buffalo remained unplowed 'til today.
