Summer Tires...useless in winter? - 06/13/06 07:49 PM
I just picked up a set of kumho ecsta supra's from a ceg'er and im looking forward to getting them mounted on my e1's.
my concern is that they are replacing my only other tires that are worn and dry-rotted. i only have one set of wheels so they would most likely be my all-seasons. monetarily i dont think remounting tires is worth it twice a year(id also have to buy new winter tires if i did that)
i know they are designated for summer, but does this mean they are 100% crap in snow, or can i live with them for a few months if i play it safe
will the summer tires be of little to no use for me once it gets cold?..snowy..icy? im not planning on buying new winter tires as well so if they wont be of use im going to have to change the plans. (was maybe thinking getting some nice wheels for strictly summer use, and saving the e1's for winter)
thanks in advance
