[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The best question is where in Colorado is the OP planning on living?[/quote]

That's really true, but realistically, if OP gets some kind of AWD/4WD vehicle with good all weather tires, it will work for any part of the state. [/quote]

Snow tires are very helpful. It sounds like OP isn't experienced with winter driving at all and winter tires could prevent some unpleasant or dangerous situations. [/quote]

Snow tires are a pain. You are really not supposed to drive on them all year, which means switching out every year. And they can be pricy. You can manage the price a bit if you just buy two and then rotate them, but it's still annoying.

AWD/4WD plus all weather tires is more than adequate for someone living on the Front Range. And then you just have to be smart -- check road conditions before you drive in the mountains, and don't get cocky. Driving over a mountain pass in a snowstorm or icy conditions is no joke and you have to be really careful even if you have snow tires or chains. But it's easy to avoid if you need to.[/quote]

Everyone is different but I don't mind the switching twice a year. Small price to pay for the freedom to safely go where I want when I want. [/quote]
