Re: Q 4 Gary

I personally would not enter another season with all four at that depth. Rule of thumb is not to enter a season with less than 6/32nds of depth as the difference in loose snow is very noticable at that point. You could run them for the 'borderline' season when it snows and quickly melts if you're careful about it.

Thanks - that's what I was thinking - also I did not want to get into the season

and have to try and find new snow tires in January.

True. The way around that might be to buy the snow tires in advance of the season and store them a few months <if you have the room> if you're trying to squeeze some more life out of the old ones.

Good idea - but I am not one to do that - not worth the risk on thin snows I appreciate the

inputs on 5/13s being too thin for snow.
