We have allot of nights that freeze here but then it is up to 40 deg. in the day, so I am wondering if I should buy some "All season tires" like the Toyo Proxes 4 or if I could get away with the "summer only" Toyo T 1R's

Anyway what are you guys going to run in the freezing weather?

Same tires I run all year! M&H dragradials 275/50/17. Of course I don't drive mine in the rain and snow, not really a good idea to take a 400+ up car out in that stuff anyway.
