Moving from CO to Florida: Keep Winter Tires?
Hi All,
First off, I've used AcuraZine for the past 5 years now to solve most of my car problems (2004 TL) and this is the first time I've had to make an account to post a question...really says something about the community
!
So...I live in Colorado and I'm moving to Florida for doc school (5 years, then probably back to Colorado). I have a full set of both winter tires, that I've used here, and a set of All-Season Tires for my TL. I was wondering if I can just use my winter tires in Florida (until they wear down) and then replace them with the All-Season and go on with my normal car life...As opposed to keeping them until I move back (in 5 years).
Any thoughts? Does keeping tires in storage for 5 years damage them at all? Is it worth the effort compared to just using them until they are at the end of their life? Or should I just not use them at all and take some change on craigslist before I leave CO?
Thanks!!

Sell them before you move. Buy new ones when you get back.

Or, just sell them to me (at a good price) and drop them off in KC on your way to Florida. It is unlikely I will have my TL for more than 2 more years, so you can buy the rims back from me on your way back.
