nah, it is on the pricier side...just thought it would be quick and easy...but next time, i'll just drop it off at the indie (i'll need an oil change then anyway)...i'm going to see how these all weather tires work and next time i need tires (will be a few years out), i might just grab them...no more tire swaps and no more storing 8 tires in the garage...that takes up a lot of space...i could fit a motorcycle/scooter in that space...hmmmmm.  :)

There was a time ppl would put in one grade of engine oil in summer and another in winter. Just like it happened with synthetic oils there may be a day when the tire compound won't turn into a hockey puck at -10.   I once test drive a car and found its all-weather tires to be noisy. MMV as they will gradually improve. Will stick for now with seasonal changes as they allow for DIY brake/ suspension checks.
