CM Winter Tires
According to Tire Rack, no winter tires are available for my 2009 C6 coupe. Any other advice for a car that will be a daily driver in Kansas City (18-30" snow annually, commute temps around 20-30 degrees in Jan-Feb). What do customers use? Are the OEM tires up to the task (they appear to be summer-only rated).

HI there,
Also, the Goodyear F1-A/S are an allseason alternative that seems to work quite well here in the northeast.
Allthebest, c4c5

Thanks for the response. I'll be ordering tires today and will post my experience with them when the weather turns...
