Hey i live in kingston ontario, canada, and i say their is about one month to go of winter, i have winter and sumer tires, my summer tires are new and my winter are bad well the front, my question is , could i just use my summer for the mean while just dont drive on bad weather days , or is that a terrible idea?i was thinking of buying winters but i was just thinking maybe i could hold off since winter is almost over..i should go winter tires but is it not a terrible thing to use my summer for the mean while?someone let me know i did price tires out should i get them or wait?

to me its a hard choice cuz i''ve been told my tires are bold now ...and i didnt really notice in the spinning all winter , but did notice the shakkyness..

Let me see if I understand you correctly:


1. Your winter snow tyres are bald (or nearly so)


2. Your summer tyres are good, but do not have the aggressive type of tread found in winter tyres.


3. You do not have a lot of spare cash right now.


4. Your question is > Do you put the summer tyres on now, and restrict your driving to good weather days (thereby saving your money), or do you put yourself in debt and purchase winter tyres with only a month to go in the season <


Since you never know whena Polar bear is going to take a dump in your tent, I would vote for the winter tyres, and work more hours

The choice .......... is yours.

well i got 2 new nice winter tires in the front...the backs will do till next year, but what a difference, i had bad front end shaking and took it to 2 different shops and one fixed ball joint and the othe r fixed a tie end rod, still shaking. Got new tires and man what a difference, smooth riding again...

Amazing what decent tyres will do for a car ...

Amazing how people will replace parts unnecessarily.

Did you get your money back?

After working on the ball joints AND the tie-rods, I sincerely hope an alignment was done on the vehicle, or them brand new tyres will be worn out abnormally fast ...

yea i got front end alignment..and even ballanced my tires 3 times...one time i noticed the weights have fell off , i think thats what help kill my other tires
