if u get up hills then its all season tires not pure summer tires. And if u are stupid enough to drive with summer tires in the winter, keep in mind that ANY accident u get into, even if ur rear ended, is automatically ur fault if u dont have a proper tire for the winter.
The rubber on the summer tires are not rated for freezing temperatures and will crack and become very dangerous and your insurance will no longer cover you if you drive in the snow with them on. So i hope your not that stupid
Well first off I drive the hell out of my car and even though I have only had my car a little over a year I have went through 3 sets of crappy Pirellis. And I rotate my tires regularly. Of course for a while there I kept getting nails and pieces of metal in my tires. Didnt help going to the drag strip either. Anyhow I'm on my 4th set and didnt have much money for tires this time. So I looked on Ebay and there's a company called Eastcoasttires. They have Free UPS shipping on all there tires I think. I bought 4 Nexxen N3000's (225/40/ZR-18)for 315.00 (noon one day). And they arrived by 2 pm the next. They are Directionals with an aggressive tread style. I really like them alot (better then any Pirelli ever). Havent been in snow but I can fly in wet weather without breaking traction or hydroplaning (of course not very fast in turns on wet roads thats just stupid). Just an idea of something to look into for anyone that needs a good tire and is short on cash around the holiday season. Laterzzzz
i cant justify spending $600 on tires....
oh and in LA, summer tires all year round are totally fine....worst i'll ever see is some bad rain..and even then, not so much

Bridgestone RE960 AS Pole Positions. They are terrible in deep snow, very slow starts as they spin a lot. Had to turn traction control off to start in first gear. Stayed in 1st gear for about 6-8 seconds to get the car moving in a straight line fast enough for 2nd gear. Seemed good in light snow, although the ABS activates very easily in any snow if brakes are used moderate to hard.
