Conti sc2's in winter
 
How bad are they going to be in the winter? I've garaged my car every winter since I bought it new in 08, but my winter car bit the dust. My car only has 15k on it so the tires still have decent life left on them and I plan on getting a new camaro ss in the spring so I don't really want to buy winter tires if I can get through a few months with the sc2's. It would just be to and from work which is only 15 mins and I wouldn't be going on the freeway. So has anybody ran these summer tires in the winter.

They suck. Conti dw's are better and less expensive anyway

If you drive on dry pavement they'll be ok, doesn't matter how cold it is. Don't even bother with the stock Contis in snow.

Yeah, I figured they'd be bad. I was just seeing if I could get by with the tires that I already have on the car since I plan on selling the car in the spring. If I have to buy tires I was looking at the blizzak ws70's or the cheaper conti dws's.

I was considering going with the stock tires last Winter. DON"T DO IT!

I honestly didn't think tires could be that bad in snow. Don't even try it. I tried going down the highway for a quick cruise after the first snowfall. I pulled onto the shoulder to make a call or something and when I tried to pull back on the road I started sliding down to the ditch. Had to reverse to get back on the road.

This was also stuck. I had to reverse down onto the field to get some traction and momentum.
