I just bought a 2020 Kia Forte GT and it came with the option Michelin Pilot Sport 4 225/40/18 tires. I live in the PNW and it rarely gets below freezing during winter. We do have the occasional cold weather and snow and ice. My dilemma is should I keep these tires on and hope for warmer weather the next few months and then enjoy them the the rest of the year? Or do I replace them now and spend another $800 for a good all-season?
I usually buy new tires right away on my past cars because the crappy LRR tires the auto manufactures install don't cut it for me when it comes to handling and rain performance. This is the first time a really decent tire has come on my car and seeing it's a high performance summer, I don't want want to buy a new set but will always wonder how unsafe these tires will be below 45 degrees?
