I was going to say buying tires for spring/summer does not make much sense unless you are down to slicks/cord or need wet traction for the occasional thunderstorm.

While 3/32nds is the legal limit, there is plenty life in most tires still at that level as long as they are evenly worn.

And old snows are good to burn up as well. They have wear bars usually at 5-6/32" which are the end of the winter compound/trad and are OK to run all summer after that. they are nothing special, but work...
