Plus, I like my alloy wheels a lot better! The ride is pretty much uncompromised with studded tires, though. <br /><br />Yes, I would run all-season tires in the winter if I didn't have to worry about snow or ice. Growing up in Minnesota, I used all-seasons all the time and never had any major issues. Then again, I could drive a Model T and get from point A to point B. Winter tires make it that much better in the snow/ice, though.Andy Lilienthalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08962844660116593646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4158601016174103420.post-42741951906851085272009-10-19T21:06:29.467-07:002009-10-19T21:06:29.467-07:00Do you drive with these things on days with no ice...Do you drive with these things on days with no ice on the roads? If so, how's the ride? Please excuse my ignorance. I've always lived in a warmer climate. We get snow but it's so sparse that when it does snow, everyone just stays at home. We get ice storms though, and I've battled inches of hard ice on the road with all-season radials (and lots and lots of cat litter). Would you run your normal tires in the winter were it not for the snow/ice?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07951259587847371590noreply@blogger.com
