Only prob with All Weather tires, they are a soft sticky compound. Running them in the dry summer will wear them out long before their time DE,,,,,,,,,


And if they have studs, they are only allowed during winter months, then ya have to take them off. They will fine you here if you run them past the take off date......

Question for the board:

I have a 2-wheel drive minivan with two nearly new (2,000 miles), ordinary tires and two with significant wear, destined for replacement as soon as next month when the van's safety inspection occurs. The van is driving really well. Our plan is to not use it much over the winter and to give it to our son next year. He's in Virginia where snow is not much of a factor.

Since two tires have to be replaced, would it make sense to put two All Season tires onto it and keep the two others that are new? Or are All Season tires a bad idea if there are only two of them? Keep in mind that for most of their life, they would be used in Virginia, but for the next four months they'd be up here.

I've definitely heard that vehicles should not have two snow tires and two All Season tires. It makes them squirrelly. Regardless of the surface, two of the tires have significantly different traction than the other two.

But what about All Season tires and "ordinary" road tires?

Opinions, especially from those of you who deal with snow, are appreciated.

Oh. All Season tires run $50 to $70 apiece. So buying four insted of two isn't going to kill us. I just hate to junk two tires that are nearly new in order to do that.
