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...
Thanks Dean, I do have summers and winters, but my summers didn't last that long(And were down to the cords) since I do drive a lot. I went and got some from the tire rack already anyways.


Which reminds me I need to get my set of 05 bronze wrx wheels over to Khail's.
