Buying tires, Question 2: I read on several tire descriptions, "Like all summer tires, the (name of tire) is not intended to be driven in near freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice." I notice summer tires are a lot cheaper, and I'm wondering if I could get away with them. I live in South Carolina. We rarely get snow and ice, and I don't drive in when we do. (We close down the state.) But what's this about "near freezing temperatures?" I may occasionally drive on dry roads in near freezing temperatures. Does the cold itself somehow affect these tires so that you shouldn't use them in dry, freezing weather, or is the point to avoid using them when roads may freeze? Totally aside, seems strange to me that there's no tire price point between $100 and $200. Seems like they're either scary-cheap or over $200. Vicki
