I honestly haven't known anyone switching Summer to Winter tires since the late 1960's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awful knawful Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 If you get any amount of snow then winter tires make sense. No comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are great on ice too....Don is probably thinking the old style winter tires. All seasons are a joke compared to todays winter tires.

Normally we get +/-80" each season, 70 miles North of us it's 200+, nearer Lake Superior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
