Snow tires / cold pavement
I have 4 Dayton Winterforce tires on my FWD car every winter.
I know that warm pavement will wear snow tires quickly. My question is which is worse: warm or pavement? If I take the snow tires out for a 200 mile drive on dry highway pavement, but it's colder than 15 F out, how much worse is the wear on the tire compared to if there was an inch of snow on the highway? I'm wondering if I'm being too cautious about taking snow tires out on plowed dry highway pavement during winter. |

I wear snows on my Jeep throughout the year, and get great tire wear. I've always been able to wear snow tires all year and have good longevity, and this is from way back in the 60's all the way to present day. Snows are just fine all year 'round.
