====================

Hondasuv.com is a good place to check out the testimonials. They're
fantastic in deep snow and at icy intersections. The factory tires
aren't great because of noise and poor snow performance.

With true winter tires, it might be hard to get a CRV stuck.

You didn't mention which year / model you want to get.
