Driving west on the interstate after church and all of a sudden brake lights from everyone in front of me. There were 2 accidents in the east bound lanes and apparently everyone felt it was more important to gawk at the accidents rather than keep with the flow of traffic. It happened quick. I tapped the brakes but started to slide sideways. The car to the left of me thankfully was aware and moved over. I corrected everything pretty quickly and got straightened back out but the cars in front of me were still getting closer. I kept tapping the brakes and luckily everything got smoothed out. I'm pretty confident that that stretch of interstate (over a bridge) was ice covered. But my first thought was I need NEW tires. My Revos are worn out but my wife wanted me to get through one more winter with them. Not smart. Since she was with me, she wants new tires right away.
And here begins my dilemma... I bought Stealth 6's a few months ago. Plan was to wait until summer and get new tires for them. Now should I:
1. Run snow tires on factory wheels (what my wife wants) and get a/t tires for stealth 6's without running TPMS for summer (not sure how I feel about no TPMS and the light being on)
2. Run a/t tires on factory wheels (reason being I hunt and fish a lot in the winter and DRIVE A LOT OF GRAVEL ROADS-not sure winter tires would hold up) and get another set of tires for stealth 6's and again not use TPMS
3. Or swap TPMS to stealth 6's and find the perfect tire
I don't want to ruin my new Matte Black Stealth 6's but this would cost me less $$
Obviously I'm looking for some feedback from you guys but my intention for the post was to remind everyone that it is not worth it to try and stretch out your tires to save a little coin. Be safe out there!
