A) 2.4 discontinued in the summer of last year
B) Not every wheel that fits the 2.4 (i.e. SS Supercharged) fits the SS/TC. In fact very few do.

I drove a TC in very very light rain with temperatures about five degrees above freezing. Driving on those tires should be illegal in winter.

for sure a person has no business driving around in the winter with those tires
