Made the Wrong Snow Tire Decision

[nate379]

THIS is why my snows don’t go on until the first forecast of weather in which they will be needed… Insert annoying video of Kristen Bell screaming “HOLD!!!” incessantly!

Same. Generally October until April

Mild winter here so far. We've had maybe 3 days here since 2016 where the snow was more than 3 inches and it was all plowed by the time I got out of work. I've got the dm-v2 on since a screw went through the sidewall of my A/S set last week.

I finally put mine on week before Christmas. Very next day we had mini blizzard/whiteout with almost no ground accumulation(3-4" fell).. nothing since.
Not even black ice overnight.

I know its because I changed the oil in the toro Single stage blower in september and gassed it up

I'm pretty good when it comes down to rubber selection....
New Car - Knowing Winters Have been getting milder and milder each year.
For 22" Winter Season, I put on 1400 miles on the new snows. Wifey put most of the mileage so I don't have any real data points.

And in my mind, when I was purchasing, selecting tires, I was leaning on Michelin PA4 but ultimately went with Hakka 5 since I've always run Hakka's with great success.

2 Days in a row, mild high 40/low 50' temps. one being in rainy conditions.
I just hate driving on Gummi bears and I feel like I have buyers remorse with not going with the PA4.

Yep. I'm in NJ/NY/CT area and I use PA4 on my BMW. I can't justify the sacrifice 98% of the time for the 5 days a year it will actually snow hard.
