3.3TT Tires For Winter / Unsure The Risks

[WRXtoStingerGT]

Hey everyone!


Hope we're all staying safe and sound during this COVID-19 crisis.


So I own a 2020 Stinger GT RWD with the 19-inch wheels with the factory (OEM) summer performance tires. I plan to move from sunny south Florida to New York right outside the city near the Bronx/Yonkers area. My concern is that I obviously should not risk driving in the cold, let alone the ice and snow, while having summer tires. But unfortunately due to budget and limited space of where I will be moving to I am unable to purchase a second set of tires. Is there a chance that if I purchase a good reputable brand of All-Season tires and mount them on my car I can drive (safely and slowly of course) through even New York level snow and ice?


Thank you everyone!


P.S. - Please don't sugar coat anything or play this down. If it's incredibly foolish and terribly risky to use All-Season tires then tell me so. I am just trying to figure out my options. Worst case scenario I will purchase winter tires but then will have to unfortunately use them during the warmer seasons. So please be blunt and honest with me.

I think that "Rocky Mountain High" winters are more severe on the whole than coastal New Your winters. And I ride on A/S UHP tires (see sig). If I were stuck for space and could not store a second set, I'd stick with the A/S for sure. And, I do drive "gingerly" in any inclement weather; those are the times to use patience and wisdom, not push your car's limits. It would help if you had AWD, though, I have to say. But, you can't drive on winter tires through the summer; that is more risky that A/S in winter, on this car especially.

You certainly can run all seasons, I never owned a set of winter tires growning up in area where you shoveled the snow 3 times a day so you could in and out of your driveway. BUT winters tires are SO much better. and if you don't have experience driving in snow and ice you lack the skills / intuition and that's something that you can't buy....

The Kia dealerships in the area (or a good tire shop) will store and change over your wheels for you (and a fee of course ) if you have a second set of rims it is very affordable around $100 is common, plus you may get a break on your insurance for running winters

And of course the high performance tires are SO much more fun than any all season
