What will make it tough is that our roads already get destroyed every winter without the help of spiked tires.

In MN the entire summer is filled with road construction already. I wouldn't be that thrilled about switching my tires 2x every year either.




Get the winter set mounted on a second set of steel rims. It's a 45 minute job with the scissor jack that came with the car, less with anything better.

It's a nice excuse to spend a little time outside on a pleasant spring or fall afternoon.


This is exactly what I do. Just have your winter tires on another set of rims and use the jack that came with the car. I do have a impact driver to make getting the lugs on and off a lot faster though.
