How long do snow tires last? Im only planning on driving my car for two more years...?

Question

Just put on bridgestone winter force tires, my all purpose ones were shot. If I'm only going to drive the car for two more years, should I bother buying new all purpose tires in the spring? Im not sure if you can drive winter tires all year long.

Answer 1

Depends and how you drive your car, how many miles you put on the tires, road conditions ect. there is no pat answer.

Answer 2

I suppose it depends on how much driving you do between now and the time you sell your car.  Snow tires will wear much quicker than your basic all-purpose tires, and the car will not handle as well on dry pavement.  If you do a lot of driving during the summer, your snow tires may be worn to the point that they are not effective on snow and ice for the second winter.  Plus... when you go to sell or trade in your car, most dealers will knock down the price because of the tires.

Answer 3

no you should be ok

Answer 4

How often do you use the car?

They should be OK if you only use it like an average amount, and stay on roads. I wouldn't bother ;)

Answer 5

Balance and rotate them once every 5000 miles or at least twice a year and you will be fine.
