Good time to get tires?

[CalsonicGTR]

I have a set of MK4 TT rims sitting in my parents garage up north that I want to mount up over the Thanksgiving weekend. Initially, I was looking at summer tires, particularly the Falken FK452 and the Yokohama S.drive. After searching around, it seems like people agree that summer tires are not good for winter driving. I daily drive my car about 2 miles a day, and it can get wet and snowy down in this part of the state. I'd like to go with a dedicated set for both seasons but I cannot afford to do that at this point and the tires that are currently on the car are getting very worn. Should I go with the summer tires anyway or should I go with an all-season of some kind?

go with kumho ecsta asx all seasons. that's what I have on my car and I DD it to/from school/work over 40 miles a day and I've only broken traction once going too fast around a corner on wet pavement

If it's within your budget buy Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3's. They are very sticky and work very well in both the wet and dry. From what I've heard, they work decent in the snow, you just have to warm them up first (take it easy for the first 5-10 minutes).

Love my 452's they're about the best of the non R tires available.
(amazing lateral grip no matter what the conditions)
