Hey folks,
I was planning on doing a road trip that would be about 1200-1500 mile each way. I currently have snow tires on and love them however the area I am traveling to is a warmer climate. This isn’t ideal for snow tires due to degraded handling and faster wear and tear. I was thinking of switching to my stock all seasons and get some chains as back up from Walmart. Since I’m in Colorado, I will have to cross the Rockies In the middle of winter where the weather can be extremely random. So my question is, does anyone have experience with the following? If so what are your thoughts and recommendation?
1) driving with winters tires in warmer weather, is the handling that bad? We’re talking 70-90F. How fast is the wear and tear on it at those temps?
2) has anyone have experience using chains or wires? Any limitations I should know before hand before purchasing? Do you recommend it?
