I also have a Honda Fit, has new tires, but they're not snow tires. Just curious if snow tires will make that much difference, (never driven it in much snow, but we live in Rochester and might get some this winter...)
All weather tires are called No weather tires by the guys I drive with.
The reason is obvious. They can't handle the heat and don't have the same traction in the summer.
Winter: can't handle the cold and don't have the good traction in snow.
The treads are different on all three tires. Summer, winter and All weather.
The "rubber" formula is different for all three also.
Tires are very important. Most folks take them for granted.
