BTW as far as road noise goes I had a car that I put a set of Toyo Proxes FZ4's (I loved those tires) back in the day. They were 45's. They were great tires but they were not quite. They didn't hum like winter tires. But with these tires you could hear every crack in the road, you can hear the smallest pebble on the road.

It gets pretty hot in Texas.

You definitely need AWD in the heat.

Ahh, snow... I still remember the excitement of driving a fwd car on nearly-bald tires and having it lose traction on a steep downhill. And being blown clean across a bridge in a 4wd truck on ice.

My solution was to move someplace warm.

I made a few snowy trips upstate in an 82 V6 Monte Carlo that not only had bald tires...it had wide bald tires. I always had one wheel with tread on it, however more often than not it sat in the trunk because it was a different size rim than the others on the car.

I used to carry 3 full spare tires in the back for those trips.

I drove one winter with tires so bald they eventually went flat. There was zero tread on them. I still didn't have a problem driving in snow.
