podom is an unknown quantity at this point
I was considering buying a set of wheels and snow tires, but the problem is that I live in a place that, some winters, gets no snow at all. For ~$800, it just doesn't seem worth it for the rare occasions that I have to drive on snow (like going up to Mt. Hood to snowboard if the roads aren't cleared).

The storm we're having in Portland right now has dropped as much as a foot, along with some freezing rain, and I would be completely out of luck getting around (if I have to) without chains. However, this happens about once every 5 years.
