Ditch those LRR in winter. Your fuel savings will be irrelevant if you slide off the road or into the back of someone! There are some good quality winter tires that give decent mileage out there.
The best tires I ever had were $38 desert dogs 13yr and 100+k miles later the tread slopped off them.

Also I ran the same cheapy stock LRRs two winter seasons without any real issue on the cobalt. If I can tolerate half bald OEMs I have no doubt I can tolerate decent LRRs winter season.

Wisconsin winters aren't exactly extreme like they were in the 70s or 80s
