Winter tires for long trip...

mkewrx · 01-16-2004, 11:23 AM

Hi guys,
I currently have my BBS wheels fitted with non-studded winter tires. I'm planning on taking a long drive down to Miami in March, and was wondering if it'll be ok to do it on the winter tires. I'll probably be doing average 90-100mph the whole time, so I'm a little concerned the winter tires can hold those speeds for a long time.
I'll be there probably for about 8 days and then driving back up to Milwaukee.
Should I just get the stock tires back on? Or would the winter tires be safe? I think the hankooks are "T" rated

Thanks in advance

Depends on the tires...

Dunlop M3s or Blizzak LM-22s should be able to handle that, although if it's warm it's probably gonna cause a lot of wear on them.
