Snow Tires and Warmer Weather
« on: March 17, 2009, 12:47:45 pm »
With the temp today nearing 15  I take it the average snow tires are safe to run at highway speeds for a few hours at a time?

Should be fine.  Be sure your tires are inflated to correct pressure.

If your snow tires were correctly inflated at -15  then they will be a bit over at + 15... but thats probably a good thing.

I'm in Vancouver and I'm keeping my winters on until the end of the month, hopefully a bit sooner. It's not just the snow, it's the frost/ice in the morning, the salt that's bad for alloy wheels. Winters stop better in rain when it's cold too so *shrugs*. Check the weather forecast often.
