I live in Boston area so snow here is unpredictable.

Default You'd only buy yourself one more year - but be taking a huge risk. I'd go new.

I tried the same thing last year, with 5/32nds.
I regretted it big-time by February, when the tread was down even further and all the reasonably priced tire merchants were out of stock for the season...
