Had no problems this morning , but.....

Forcasting 10-15 cms of the white stuff tonight.. :banghead:

I really don't want to drag the tires out of the basement and fart around in the driveway with a jack when I get home...:thumbsdow

Stupid weather !:guns:

Yeah, this morning it was more wet then snow, I had no problems driving. However, the dump tonight is going to be more then my summers can handle...hopefully it melts fast...if not, back to the winters...I sure hope that this dump is going to be the last for the year...we've had a preety cold winter, i can use some +30 days to cheer me up, lol, guess we'll just have to wait an see....

i dont understand why ppl put their summer tires/rims back on so early
unless you've only lived in alberta for less than 5 years...you SHOULD know that we almost always get 1 dump in spring

hopefully this is IT

Yah because winter tires get eaten up in the warm weather! I mean it was +15 last week!

I'll be cruising my winter beater for the next few days or a week, however long it takes the snow to disappear

I hope so too, but we'll likely see another big dump before summer. We had two big snowstorms in May last year.

I keep my winters on at least until the end of April.

I still haven't hadn't taken my winter tires off but I'm just curious for when the snow melts, what is a good and cheap place to put my factory all-seasons back on?? I've been told it costs $100!

If a benz came in to my shop, i'd be charging $100 too :rofl:

It's about 10 dollars a tire, unless you're planning on removing the rubber off of your winter tires and putting it on the summer tire, that is about double.

I was too tired last night to put the snows back on . The low profile Conti summer tires made for an interesting drive...

now we need some sun...

I was FUKED this morning on the way to work.
Summer-only low-pros and snow do not mix at all.
Thank God it's melting now.
