Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: We purchased a new 2006 subaru with brigstone tires. we drive in wet and snowy conditions regularly. on our first drive to co from wi, we noticed poor wet weather handling. on our next trip to co from wi, we experienced horrible traction on snow and ice covered roads. we have had the tires rotated per warranty, we have had the alignment and suspension checked. the tires appear to be the problem. we have email the mfr/brigstone twice and have not received an answer. i believe the oem tires are not safe on wet and snow covered roads. *nm
