I never got stuck or crashed even during the mayhem on I80 west.. (knock wood).
My recommendation is to get a second set of OEM rims, put some good “snowflake labeled” winter time like Dunlops, Bridgestone, Continental. The Germans know how to do these kind of tires. Keep your nice summer tires in the garage for the winter.

Ah, good old Morris County roads! Grew up in Randolph, worked in Morristown, Madison, Basking Ridge. Those hills in between are treacherous!!!!!!!!!!!

I can see that's a dilemma! One of the few allowed on the road which is probably for the best. I quickly looked it up but tossing a set of snow chains in the trunk doesn't appear to be illegal. I've used snow-chains in Washington on our 4Runners and in NH on my Sentra and they are a life-saver.
