This is going to sound odd, but I'm starting to appreciate the Goodyear All-Season tires I have on my car. Not only are the tall 60 series tires a less bumpy ride than sporty 50 series, there are additional attributes.

I can accidentally get a squeal from the rear tires when up shifting, and brake the rear end out on a fast tight turn (and regain control) for that on the edge excitement.

In addition at this time of year the cold doesn't change the character of the rubber all that much.

The real bonus is the even wear of the tires and the long thread life, a real money saver in the long run.

Sure, sticky street tires are a riot because they let you get away with a lot. However for a reto ride into what rubber used to be, you may wish to look into some of the All-Season options.

Below 50 degrees with a summer rubber blend is downright dangerous, and cool fall driving is my favorite.
