I'm still undecided on whether I should drive it for the winter, but my problem is this.

I've got 30% tread left on my rears, and 60% left in the front.
I'd like to change the rear before winter. We don't have much snow here at all, should I spend the money for snow tires? all seasons? or just replace the 2 rears with s02 s. What would you do?

Thanks in advance!

 

Snow is not your enemy, cold is your enemy. S-02s do NOT behave well when cold. If you will be driving during the winter your really should look into an all-season tire (if you have no snow).

S-02s behave like ice skates when below 35-40 F.

A search is indicated here. There have been DOZENS of thread on winter tires.

>>S-02s behave like ice skates when below 35-40 F.

Is that the case if you just drive it like a regular car, or just if you try to continue having fun? Heck, even here in North Carolina we get below 35 - 40 a lot in the Wintertime.

When was the last time it was hot and snowing?
