I have a 2007 RAV4 with front wheel drive. I live in SC, so that's usually fine.
However, during the winter I like to drive up to the mountains of NC for cross-country skiing (where I am right now), and my car is not really great for such environments... sometimes I get stuck in the snow.
Furthermore, I'm planning a road trip next week up to Maine and Montreal and back. (Yikes)
So, I'm wondering if it'd be a worthwhile for me to buy a set of snow tires. I'd obviously have to switch them out every time I come back to SC, but that's still way cheaper than buying another car w/ 4WD. I'm mostly wondering if there'd be significant benefit if I installed them.
Any thoughts? (Buying snow tires in SC should be interesting... I imagine no dealer has any experience with such matters, and I have no idea if I could even *get* the tires delivered in time for my trip...)
