need to know b-4 tomorrow!!

THANK YOU EVERYONE, I GUESS I WILL STICK WITH THE 2 NEW SNOW TIRES THAT I HAVE.
I APPRECIATE ALL ANSWERS, DON'T KNOW IF I CAN PICK A BEST.

Answer 1

Good all season tires are all ya need . On the sidewall of every tire is has a rating for traction (can't remember them right off the bat)Brand name tires are the best except for Firestone / Bridgestone as I have found these do be defective since the mid 70's. You look at the tread and see if the grooves between each other is wide and if they have a way to channel water completely through all of the grooves to the outside of the tire to let water escape out of the treads from the inside out. Goodyear,Goodrich General,Dayton are a few of the brand name tires .They cost more but are worth it

Answer 2

Having 2 snow tires on the front is fine. The rear will get the same traction is you have snows on the rear or not. A good all season radial tire will work just fine for the winter months. I have a 97 neon and I have driven it quite a bit in the winter with all seasons on it. Goes just fine, however this year I’ll be doing a lot of driving in the mountains and canyons. I have opted to put on some studded snow tires to give better bite on the icy roads. Couple that to when I need chains and everything is good. You should be fine with the two snows on the front.

Answer 3

Since the Lumina is front wheel drive the snow tires will go on the front. Rear snow tires would be a waste. Studded tires are good on ice etc. but the studs tend to work their way thru the tire and cause small slow leaks and most states have a time " window" that only lets studs on at certain time of year...like 1st of Nov to the 1st of April....that sort of thing. Hope I helped.

Answer 4

I have a 92 Chevy lumina and we never used snow tires. As long as the tread is good, you shouldn't have too much trouble driving this winter, Just keep your speed a lil slower.

Answer 5

A good set of tires with at least 6 or 7/ 32nds of an inch should do just fine. Just use common sense when driving on bad roads, and drive slowly. I spent a winter in Wyoming last year, and just has a set of used tires on my car, and it was just fine, as long as I took it easy.

Answer 6

as long as the trade is good u should be fine. but if u have the money for new tires i would go ahead and put all 4 new tires on. that way u know that all the tires will wear at the same time as long as u keep them rotated. u will get beater traction all around and batter performance

Answer 7

lumina's go pretty good in the snow, as long as you have 2 brand new tires on the front which is your traction wheels you should be fine and no it doesn't need snow tires.
