we are moving to milwaukee and have regular Tyre‘s on our car. Do we need to change the Tyre‘s to snow Tyre‘s? or any regular Tyre‘s will do good. pl advice
They should be fine. Technically, the snow tires should be about 1/2 taller (so a 1/4 difference all the way around), and are slightly wider, but they're probably just fine. Your speedometer will be off 2% (i.e. not enough to really ever think about)
If you have all season tires on your car, you'll probably be fine. If you have performance tires on your car, then you'd want to switch them out for snow tires. I think snow tires are slightly better than all season tires but not by a whole lot. Considering you're talking about a Corolla, I'm guessing you've got all season tires so you'll probably be fine. It's not THAT big a deal to put snow tires on. The tires may cost a bit up front and if you buy them already mounted that'll add up to. But then there's less hassle when it's time to change them. It costs us $10 total to get this done at Rinderle on 35th. It would be more if they actually had to remount them all. And Milwaukee gets plenty of snow. I don't know which Milwaukee that other person is living in! Plowing.eh, not so much. Certainly not much happening on the side streets!
I've used snow tires and regular tires, to be honest I've never been able to notice the difference while on the snow. All season tires are good enough, they don't harden too much in cold weather unllike what the tire guy tells you unless they're bad quality and even if they did, you really can't tell hte difference in tractiion, tires are tires, as long as they have tread on them, they will catch the ground, what difference does it make if they are slightly softer? Most people use all season tires. Very few use snow tires in winter. The only difference I've noticed is when you use snow chains.
