Might be able to trade in your stock tires at a tire shop to put towards the cross climates
could be an option...i'll have to look into that if i go that route.
I can foresee phrases like "we need to keep the lights on" and "used tires are used tires, I need to make a couple of bucks off them" being uttered and so in their mind $50 a tire will be a generous offer.
Keep them until spring and sell them when demand is high. Or better yet, keep them for when you sell the car.
And for what it's worth, I've driven a FWD Sonata (Michelin all season tires) to London and wholly crap, do you guys get snow there!
For as long as roads are flat you
may be OK on the new all-seasons. Obviously, all-weather and snow tires will offer some/ more than some improvement in snow and ice traction.
