[Solved] Can you drive a car with weak battery in the winter?

Can you drive a car with weak battery in the winter? Can I keep driving it till it dies? Will it affect any other electronics?

Question 2: The car I bought comes with cheap Triangle chinese tires, are they safe enough for winter driving? As far as Ive read the only downside is they wont last as long as name brands like Michelin/Continental.

Thanks

#1 - Bad idea. Not only will you get stranded when it finally doesn't start the car, but in the meantime it will be killing the alternator

#2 - What are triangle tires? As long as they have enough tread it should be ok. But if you get a lot of snow and ice, then it might be a good idea to have winter tires, or 4WD, or chains.


@mountainmanjoe
are kirkland batteries safe? as far as i know theyre the best value for prerfomance and price and theyll give u a new one when it fails


They're OK. Nothing special in terms of performance. But like you say they're cheap and have a good guarantee.
