I should've stayed in Australia longer :/

And I should've bought that snow blower shovel but I figured we weren't going to get anymore snow for the season

What's your thoughts process when you decide to take off winters in February? Truly curious

Temps were starting to creep up higher and higher and i truly believed winter season was over and i didnt wanna to eat up my wifes winter tires unnecessarily. I wanted to "save" tread life for when she needs it most. Again i dont think itll snow that bad at all where her all seasons wouldnt be able to handle

I don’t get that line of thinking lol.. like what, you buy winter tires to try and save a month or two of the total life span?

It’s always like this, it’s not uncommon for snow in late March even. I’ll sacrifice a few months or an even a season of my winters for the safety and peice of mind. Let alone the headache of switching them off etc.

No wonder people are in ditches and hedges lol

Winter tires aren't like f1 tires they're not gonna shred the moment temps hit over 6.

In my case I'm more concerned of the rubber getting too old and hard before I run down the tread. I'm on my 5th or 6th season and they still feel like they have 85% of new grip in ice and snow but with plenty of tread.
