    Definitely summer-only tires but I did not know about this:

    Tires exposed to temperatures of 20 degrees F (-7 degrees C) or lower must be permitted to gradually return to temperatures of at least 40 degrees F (5 degrees C) for at least 24 hours before they are flexed in any manner, such as by adjusting inflation pressures, mounting them on wheels or using them to support, roll or drive a vehicle.

    Flexing of the specialized rubber compounds used in Max Performance Summer tires during cold-weather use can result in irreversible compound cracking.

    Nowhere close to having issues and felt great on the ride home, looking forward to when temps pick up here soon and get them worn in.

    Should be good though! and Love being back on Michelins.

    If anyone is looking for some summer tires who is less picky than me, my stocks will be going up for sale here with plenty of life. Save me some trouble making a kijiji ad and let me know if anyone is interested.

    TireBob on here, or Bob at Urban expressions north. Ive referred countless people over to him over the years, absolutely no complaints. I even buy my semi truck tires through him. Bob is beyond words a solid guy and an amazing friend, extremely happy with him on all fronts.

    My parents and I are looking for a basic shop to do tire swaps each year. I don't know if that's too basic for TireBob or Bob @ UrbanX...

    Should i just give them a call?

    Urban Expressions is where I get my tire swaps done seasonally. They are great for that kind of work because they don't overbook so you get in at your scheduled time and out with 30 minutes most of the time.
    It's been ears since I used Costco for tires but it was an all day process last time.

    Exactly. I think Costco charges maybe $10 less for all 4 tires, but my time is worth more than that.

    Kind-of a funny follow on. Tires 2 weeks old, 7.5mm tread depth new.

    Dealer is claiming on my service sheet that they are worn down to 4.3mm already

    Classic stealership.

    I also reported battery issues to which they claim I should buy a trickle charger for when it’s stored. Pretty debatable they actually looked at my battery, considering i have a pigtail bolted to it for my Ctek .

    yeah, i am getting pretty pissed at dealerships too. was trying to work a deal on a power wagon. They offered me $21,000 for my truck (2016 F150 XLT EnRich loaded with 63K). I told em they were fucking crooks and how pissed I was. Was pretty funny when they all of a sudden bumped the trade in figure on my truck to $31,000 and discounted the new truck even more...I walked on principle.
