Do you have all-season tires for the whole year, or put winter tires on for the winter?
My mom has summer tires and winter tires. Eight tires in total — that’s a lot of tires!
She saves some money on her insurance for this reason, but she spends more than she saves because:
- She has to pay to have them changed over twice a year
- She has to pay to have them programmed to her car, or she has an annoying orange light on her dash
- She has to make an appointment and then wait about an hour to have the job done
- She has to go back to the shop and have her wheel nuts torqued
- And she has to haul the tires from her home to the shop and back, unless she pays more for the shop to store them for her.
So, I was just wondering what you think is the better choice, four tires all year round, or eigh5 tires with all that management and no money savings?
