Nah. Steady state crusing is pretty easy on a car. Snow and ice ain't though.

No. None. New tires will sit fine through the winter and driving around on old
tires is a blow-out waiting to happen.--

"Yes, the president should resign. He has lied to the American people,
time and time again, and betrayed their trust. He is no longer an
effective leader. Since he has admitted guilt, there is no reason to
put the American people through an impeachment. He will serve
absolutely no purpose in finishing out his term; the only possible
solution is for the president to save some dignity and resign."
-- William Jefferson Clinton, 1974
