Winter tires in the summer

[lerxst]

Hi - Does anyone know what are the potential consequences of driving around with winter tires during non-winter season? Could winter tires be used all-year-round?

Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

I guess that depends on the local laws where you live, if its forbidden or not.

I would not recommend it tho cause the winter tires are not made for summertemps and can be worn out quite fast.

Check with your local tire shop :-)

Shoud not be an legal issue unless the tires are studded. The big problem is wear, they'll wear out much, much quicker.
