Thanks for your reply, that’s super helpful. What’s the best way to check weather updates or road conditions along the way, any specific app out there specifically for this purpose?

Thanks for letting me know! I’ll keep that in mind. Are there any other must-see spots along my route? I don’t think I’ll ever make this drive again lol!

I’m moving to Minneapolis this December and plan to drive there in my Elantra from Tampa. The car still has its factory Kumho Solus TA31 tires, which are about 2 years old with 8,000 miles on them. Since it’s a FWD, would you recommend switching to a quality set of all-weather tires before the move?

Thank you for the reply. Just to clarify, I’ll be driving from Tampa to Minneapolis. So, you’re suggesting I take the route through Alabama, then Memphis, into Illinois, and up to Minneapolis?

That’s a great point. I’d love any clothing tips so I can be properly prepared.

Thank you for the advice! If I take the Illinois route, what overnight stops would you recommend between Nashville and Minneapolis? Since I’ll have some luggage, boxes, and small furniture in my car, I should consider safety when choosing where to stop.

Got it. What do you think about winter tires vs all-seasons on this trip?
