Might as well post them for sale. Some of us still have cars with 4 lugs (I'm all set, but maybe someone could use them). Make sure to mention the diameter.
NoVA gets a little more snow than my location (I'm about 60-70 miles south of DC/NoVA). Snow tires are IMHO hardly worth it. They'd probably have to be replaced due to dry rot before they'd every need replacement. The DC-to-Richmond corridor averages one good snowy winter every 5-7 years. The rest are relatively mild. The past two years we've seen hardly any snow - less than 12".B10alia said:If you have a doughnut spare, I would sell that, buy a cheap tire, and mount that on a steely and use it as a full-size spare. You could also mount snow tires on the spare rims and use those in the winter. I don't know how much snow you get in NoVA, but I know it can get pretty hairy in Blacksburg sometimes, and I would feel a little better if I had a good set of snow tires if I had to drive in that. The steelies will also keep your alloys out of the salt. They don't seem to use as much as they do up here in MA, so it may not be as important, but it's an option for your consideration.
