I agree but up here sometimes the wx changes rapidly and I commute 20 miles
one way to work so it has happened a few times where I was out of town, fly
in to fairbanks and it has snowed 6inches over night and I have to try to
get home with what ever tires are on my car!!!?
I could change early but like this year, it is Oct. 22 and we still have NO
snow on the ground and the weather hasn;t been cold YET, usually we have
several inches on the ground by Oct. 15th each year....
I have though about performance tires for summer and dedicated snow tires
for witner. I've always used studded snows for winter, this year I'll try
the blizzaks but I still have 4 mounted 14" studded snows incase I don;t
like them.
