Purchased a 2003 Matrix rs with option pk that included 17" wheels, ABS, all weather guard package, and sports trim. First snow I found out the package with a includes summer only tires. My mistake for not checking the tires, but the ABS brakes and all weather guard package lead me to believe the car was ready for winter. It is very dangerous to drive with current tires.
