Hey guys!
I have an urgent question for you guys! You always seem to help out and i appreciate that highly. Im moving across the country to live with my dad and attend school in saskatchewan..im currently in quebec. I have falken azenis rt-215s on and the rear tires are finished! no tread in the middle..but the fronts are still good. I have to drive for 3 days across 3 provinces...i was wondering weather i should put my winter tires on and do it OR keep the tires on for the drive and drive them till they crap out and put my winters as soon as i reach home.Is there anything i should be concerned about besides slipping or bad traction...like will my tire blow or wear down till it pops? please let me know as i am leaving after tommorow!

Hey man,

Just be safe and use the winter tires. What if you hit bad weather on your journey. That will just be dangerous with little tread. Je pense qu'il faut que vous utilisez les pneus bons. Anyways bon voyage and have a safe trip.

thanks man, appreciate it...i was just wondering since the weather looks like its going to be nice..any idea if the tire can get a flat if it wears down too much?

Chances are you will make it without problems but you are "more likely" to get a flat with alot of tire wear if you run over a sharp object or something. That is my opinion though. As long as you have a donut in the trunk go for it. But since you have winter tires why not just put those on for insurance.
