The FIT comes with all season tires which are fine for dry and wet (rain) conditions and a little light snow.

If you live in Michigan or other places that get standing snow in the winter you are much better off getting snow tires mounted on a separate set of rims.

Check with Jim@tirerack.com for options on 14" or 15" rims with dedicated snow tires for your FIT. Change over the the snow tires about thanksgiving time and back to summer tires in about early to mid April depending on your risk for spring snowfall.

You can also check in the Michigan community forum for advise on snowtires.
