Am I risking it driving to CHI in January on All seasons?

[VentoGT]

All--

I'm moving from ATL to CHI shortly but I have a dilemma...I am going to get winter wheels and tires but I don't want to have to try to load my Detroits into my car for the trip up to CHI...

Am I taking a huge risk driving up on major highways at the beginning of the year and then getting the winter wheels put on up there? Let me know your thoughts...

Thanks!

i drove thru the winter on my pirelli all season with 30k miles on them, no issues.

you'll be fine, don't stress about it.

You'll be fine with all season tires.

That takes a load off for me...thanks for the replies. Not looking forward to having to get a front tag, but am looking forward to it being a Chicago Blackhawks one [even though this season looks like its FUBAR]

Looking forward to mingling with the Chi-town VW folk

front tag?

front tag?

IL requires front and rear plates/tags, Georgia does not

how much tread is left on your a/s?

Probably 70-75%. Car just ticked over 10K miles and I don't beat it up too much.

i ride with no front plate. you only get a "fix it" ticket. basically take some double sided tape, slap the plate on the front of your car, and take a picture. then you take the plate off and drive normally. all you have to do is show "proof" of having a front plate on if you ever get a ticket for it.

Regarding the front plate I'm almost done with my drill free bracket.

you have plenty of tread left, as others have said you will be good with your all seaons

Nice! Well, I also just renewed my tag 15 days ago here so I have a year of Georgia tag paid for--will probably ride that out as long as I can.

you should be good with those all seasons. Just watch throttle modulation.
