Snow tires & summer driving

[Todd Phenneger]

Patrick,
  IF they are the H Rated PILOT Alpins I'd say go for it.  But
if they are the Q-Rated Arctic Alpins I'd think twice.  They
might make it but the trip will likely destroy the tires (they
are probably already toast from the rubber hardening from
repeated heat cycling)  I believe they would make the trip,  as
logn as you keep the speeds reasonable, but its up to you.  I
wouldnt' do it. :-)
