I have a set of snow tires I had mounted to my OEM steelies and ready to go on for the winter any day now. My question is, this is my first time with snow tires and have a few questions.
1.) If I mount them tomorrow (it looks like we are below 40* from now on with rain/sleet/snow). Even if there is no snow on the ground, is it OK to drive on these tires without going through the thread like butter? For example, this weekend looks clear and I may be driving 70 or so miles this weekend all freeway. Will this be ok? If temps are at 40* or below?
2.) What guidelines should I follow with these tires? I heard don't drive over 40*F if possible, but anything else?
Appreciate your help! Just looking for some info. By the way, the tires I have are the General Altimax Arctics. Read great things about them! They look great, hope they do my xB well in the snow this year!
