Do I need snow tires or should all season tires work for NYC Snow??
What kind of tires do you recommend for all season and winter tires?
Thanks!

If yo plan on driving your lex during the winter you better get snow tires. I have yokohama ones and my car goes good through the snow. It is actually fun sometimes.

I've driven rear wheel drive cars all my life, never had snow tires (I'm 44). In the old days it was no posi, no TC (in a '75 Camaro no less). With the snow setting for the trans and TC/ABS, my GS is the best car I've ever owned for snow (note I said, "I've ever owned", not "the best car in the snow").
I just bought new Michelin Pilot Sport AS for my GS430. I checked Tirerack's website for snow ratings on 17" tires, the choices are slim. In the end, the only 235/45-17 tire I could find with a good snow rating, yet not be actual snow tires, were the Michelins. These Pilots are great, at $935 installed w/road hazard, they better be! I never regret buying the best tires, I've got Pilots on my Vette and Momma's minivan has top of the line Michilens too. BTW, I buy all my tires at Costco, they have the best prices and road hazard warrenty is included.
