I may be trying to go last minute and am trying to make sure I'm prepared.

Default I'm putting my old RE040s on my S4 for Ahnie...
She's in a beginner group though. I'm not sure i'd run all seasons. They'd probably overheat and chunk.

Default look at it this way - you'll heat the summers up more than enough :)
you'd destroy winters driving like that, even if it's 40 degrees ambient temperature. Just give it a good warmup.

Are RE040s considered all-season? I thought they were 'ultra-high perf summer' tires, per TireRack.
