If Dallas gets snow or ice, I’d seriously recommend not driving until it melts.

Naw. Lived in Canada and Michigan for 25 years and never got winter tires. Just don't suck at driving.

I never had snow tires until I had a rear wheel drive car that absolutely could not deal with any amount of snow.

No. But I do prefer all season over summer tires. Some people in the sun belt just use summer tires year round and they aren't as good in the cooler months. There are great all season high performance tires to choose from.

No. No.

On second thoughts .....NO.

Where’s the post about the person talking about being in a tire sales family? They actually knew what they were talking about.

Strange. They are certainly for lower temps, not just snow. Not sure if Dallas gets enough cold days to make it worthwhile.

No you need a generator for when the electrical grid goes down. It goes down when it gets too cold and too hot.
