I've only really heard of snow tires really mattering that much...

That said, I might want to have the same tires all the way around if I were
going to be driving in those kind of conditions anyway...

You might want to buy 4 new tires and keep your 2 old good ones for
spare...maybe sell/give one to another listmember in your area...

I am on a new set of Continental Vanco 8's. They were like 35 a piece at
tire rack, then I had King Wally install em for me...
