Thanks Rick I run 2 sets of tires Michelin snows and a set of regular tires . My mgr says again he does not really want to replace it as it has been a trouble free vehicle not unlike some of the other ones we have. Our little transit connect some are on their 3rd transmissions .

John my van has the optional 5.3 gas engine , it has been very reliable . I was willing to drive it longer but someone thinks that it cheaper to lease a new vehicle as opposed to running the vehicle into the 5th or 6 yrs and starting to cost them money ..we replaced the brake pads once from original and last March we got our 2nd set of snow tires . Now my plan at the end of April was to take the snows off and get a new set of regular tires because the originals are done now . My supervisor said today I can see you having to stay at a hotel some nights , costing the company some money . I agreed on that comment . The full size transit in Europe is available in all wheel drive so maybe they will make it available in the future. It is a possibility that if it does come available that they might swap mine out. Oh well it won't be here for a couple months but the first thing that happens to it when I get it is go and get snow tires .
