I have a chance to get 4 near new goodyear studded tires for $100.00 used 1 month last winter.
Question is should I or can I put them on a 93 E 4WD 4.0 liter extended with 73,000 miles. I think they are 205/75/14. Thanks

 

Sounds like a good deal dude! I've heard its important on the AWD Aero that all 4 tires match in size which these do as they're a set These are only a little narrower than stock so should be no prob with rubbing.

If you wanna get em cheaper- ask if the price is negotiable, and if they's take like $60? or $80? (you choose silently, then let them talk you back up from whatever you say).

Its handy to have an extra set of wheels too. I'm gettin ready to enjoy my 1st real winter with my Aero AWD as I've moved to Iowa. I've a set of snow tires I bought used too and will put them on some old Ranger alloys I have..

 

Better check your local laws. Here in michigan i believe the only thing you can use are chains. Much less wear and tear on the already terrible roads.
Just remember when driving in snow, break and gas gently, and momentum is your friend.

 

great if you have lots of snow
miserable ride and NOISY with 4 studs all around in a boom box van
also very poor braking on bare pavement with 4 studs

i have 4 mounted 15" aggressive lug mud/snow tires for the Aero. never use them, noisy and rough ride
care chains and love it, got 4 for all around but have never had to chain up the front, she goes. over White and Snoqualmie when the semis weren't even moving. never spun a wheel with the great AWD system in the Aero

 

Yes, you can. But be sure tire max. load allows you to use them. I had problem when tires blown if van was laden

 

This may be the year I finally break down and get some cables for the Aero. Snow is not much of a problem but we get some nasty ice storms in Oz.
These guys recommend them for all four corners, not just the rear.

 

I think I will pass on them. It just seemed like a hell of a deal. I have never had a problem in the snow with the aero, also have a set of chains so I'll be fine. Live in western washington so snow is really not a big deal.Thanks

 

For my 2 cents, with an AWD Aerostar, as long as you have good, near new tread with a M+S tire rating (radials) you will be fine. The weight of that 4.0 V6 will give you plenty of traction on your drive wheels.
That "singing" with studs on dry winter roads would drive me crazy, especially at freeway speeds.

The only way I'd use studded snowtires if I lived up in the mountains where you can get white out blizzards, and you only drove the Aerostar in heavy snow conditions. Then I'd say okay to studded snows...

 

Studded tirese are designed for ice and pressed snow, on "fresh" snow studs run like not studded winter tires.

 

I found a good deal on studded tires for my jeep but wanted to use them year round. I used a pair of long needle nose pliers and pulled/twisted all the studs out of the tires. It took me about an hour but I ended up with some really nice rugged snow tires that I can use year round for about $15 (yard sale). 2-Years later they are still very nice.

Tip: the studs pull out if much easier if the rubber is wet. I found spritzing with WD-40 worked wonders.

 

What amazing things may human do to save some $$$. To pull out studs.... May be it looked like to pool theeth out from mouth of dead horse .

 

Well, when you need new tires and can't afford to buy them you do what you gotta do to.

 

Dont feel heart. Concider it to be kidding. I use to assemly 1 tranny of 2 and install heaters from junk buses....
