We've been leasing an '06 Ody, and it's not doing well in the snow at all. It never occurred to me that it could be the tires that are the problem! Hubby's '96 Corolla has fewer issues than my Ody does. Our lease is up this coming fall, and I'm not sure whether we're going to buy this van or not. Supposedly when Hubby took it in for its last oil change (December?) they said there was plenty of tread left on the tires, but I simply cannot continue to drive them in the snow & ice. I'm going to end up stuck or, worse, crashed(!) with my kids!
What do I do? Get "real" winter tires to use until spring, then put the current tires back on for the summer? If we trade up in the fall, I can put the new winter tires on the new van, right?
Or, do I get a better all season tire? That's what I was planning to do until I read some of the previous posts on this topic. I hate spending hundreds of dollars on a car that I may not be keeping for even a whole year, but I hate driving a car that's not safe even more.
