I've been having the same debate regarding tires. I have an 03 with PSM and I've been hearing that the summer pilots are dangerous below 45 degrees. I plan to drive in the winter- but not in any sort of snow. I've been wondering if I should try and get through the winter with the Summer Pilots, buy a dedicated set of winter tires, or purchase the Pilot All Season tires. Since the DC area only has about 3 months of real winter- it's hard for me to rationalize winter tires, but the all-season Pilots (assuming the handling trade off isn't too much) makes sense.

So to my question:

Bruce- When you say the Pilots will be okay, are you refering to Pilot All Season or the stock Summer Pilots?
