Summer Tires Year Round?

Lancejoker · 11-02-2009, 12:49 PM

Hey,I just bought a set of wheels from another forum member. They had a set of Pirelli P-zero Rosso's on them. One of the rears needs replacement. I was debating keeping them on but my car is a daily driver year round (has seen snow on 3 occassions) and I know these are summer tires. Is there anyone here(aside from you Florida,Cali and Texas guys who are in warm temps all year) that are running a summer tire all year long? I will cost me $450 to replace the P-zero and $1000 if I change to an all season tire like the RE960AS from Bridgestone. I would also have to drop down to a 295 from a 305 in the back. What should I do?

Before I spent that kind of money for an alternate tire to use year round, I'd put that money, and maybe a little more, into a winter car...

I run my 94 Corvette, Auto, year round in WV.
Tires do not warm up (Kumho AST) in the winter(40 degrees or less), throttle easy because traction is way down.
Snow for my Corvette is not an option, throttle response is too sensitive.
Winter car or truck is best daily all season option.
