People have been driving around on "all season" tires for too long - moved out here to eastern Idaho 4 yrs ago (exactly) - drove back to NJ for Christmas - My brother-in-law asked if I had any problems on the trip because he noticed I had a different wheel on the back - I reminded him what we used to do years ago... OK decades ago, I had on snow tires.
