winter tires

[PeterBergin at aol.com]

Winter tires burn up pretty fast in the summer.  Plus they may be a  bit 
soft for you suspension.
 
I run Nokian RSI's in the winter, on a 15" 6.5 inch UR quatto rim off a  
1985 far better than the Blizzaks I had before.  When you figure your  wear 
cost per mile the tire cost does not matter over time.  Used winter  wheels 
you should be able to find for 20-$25 used, I live in Minnesota and my  summer 
Bridgstone RE 950 or 930 (cant remember) 17" (2000 S4 rims) really suck  
when its slippery.  If your going to drive the car a few years and live  where 
there is a "real winter" dig into your wallet, you won't regret it.

Gotta  buy new tires because my current ones are bald and it sucks to be 
slippin and  sliding like everyone. I am definitely going to get all season 
ones ( I had  posted an earlier comment about this), due to the fact that i 
cant afford to  buy a set for winter now and then another set once it gets 
warmer. If by some  chance i come into some money, how bad is it to run winter 
tires when there  isnt any snow? Do they wear down faster or are they just 
not meant to go fast  with?
