Illinois major arteries are cleared pretty quick and snows don't buy you too much. When there is snow they're better than radials but once the snow is gone and we might once again expect good mileage, we find that snow tires don't give as good mileage as radials. 3. Radials- just fine with me, with fwd I have never been stuck. 4. chains- For people who live in hilly or mountainous regions, or for very conservative winter drivers. 5. Are N.J. winters that different than ILL. winters?
