I think the tires on my Honda are all weather tires, im pretty sure.

You should make that 100% sure before it gets colder outside.

Well my summer tires were pretty much done and one of them was leaking, so I didn't really have much choice. I wanted to wait another month, but no luck there

I make the switch to winters usually mid-late November. Might roll into December depending on how the weather goes.

If the ABS is freaking out due to packed snow/ice then it is actually a really good idea [to pull the e-brake]. Quickest stop in those conditions is with wheels locked, so provided your are going straight and the speed is low it is highly effective. It has saved my *** from a certain crash more than once, especially in downhill when the rear gets light.
