What a world we live in where you need a /s on comments like this, lmao

Obviously you change your tires by cutting at the axle instead… rookie mistake.

Best to have one tire of each type so you’re prepared for anything.

So Winter, Summer and all-weather on the first 3 wheels, you reccon a wooden tire would work for the last open wheel or should I just leave that spot open?

This is a great method because your new set will be correctly aligned along that 5 point star! No need to get your tires aligned at the shop. :)

You just keep filling until the old oil pours out.

Pretty sure you have to flip it upside down so the oil dribbles out.

This is the way to get tires changed!

And we use summer/winter. My wife drives an EV and the low role resistance tires are crap on snow and ice. And I drive a sports car and I want the extra traction in nice weather.

I see. I’ve always heard that Allweathers kinda suck especially in the Winter

All weather tires suck in all weather.

Sure they’re better than winter tires in summer, and summer tires in winter (if barely in both cases), but in reality they just suck.

Disagree, strongly. Modern high performance all seasons fucking rip. Michelin Pilot Sport A/S or Continental Extreme Contact are very good tires. They’re not as good as dedicated summer/winter tires but they’re very far from sucking. If you don’t deal with snow (inches of accumulation) then good all seasons are more than adequate.

There are all weather’s that a great in all conditions but none of those have low roll resistance or great on a performance car.

It depends on your use. Until these two cars I rocked great all weather’s that were fantastic for those cars. But my Corvette doesn’t get so weather’s and my wife’s Ioniq 5 loses a ton of range with winter tires but needs winter tires in the winter.

Depends on the tire and the winter.

Places where winters are icy and long (NorthEast Coast/Mid-Atlantic, Great Lakes, etc), you want proper winter tires if you do any regular driving.

If you live somewhere winter has snow, but isn’t icy (plains, the non-mountain areas of WY, CO) you can get by on Winter-rated All-season tires, especially if you’re in a city where speeds are lower and roads are kept well-cleared.

It all depends on the usual conditions and where/when you drive. I work from home when it snows because it would waste a lot of time to drive in the snow. We only get a little at a time, and it clears quickly, so it’s not worth having full winter-only tires, winter-rated all-season are fine.
