You can take it, but with sedate driving, it can be enough for 4 seasons. Not for active driving, although it is good to steer. Has some pros: Size 195/55 r16 skated 2 seasons, another third will leave. I liked the directional stability, the hook on almost any surface, cornering. Got cons: Studs fly out during a light winter and active driving, after the first season about 30 studded, after the second about 80, but only on the drive wheels.
