Cuz I was late for school by the time I got home from Pt Roberts, and it wasn't snowing. I checked the online live cams at SFU, it wasn't even snowing there. So I figured it could wait til later that night.
Geez guys lol.

The 210s just sold for $200 more than I payed for them haha
I have Nokains on my car, but these are just for my gf so I'll probably order her a set of Hankook iPike. If they aren't good enough I'll drive her around.

^ They're okay, they got me around in '08 and '09 pretty good. Good in snow and slush. They're just not too great on the ice.

^ I've heard they have soft sidewalls. I've heard mixed reviews on rain performance, but they're a great tire in the snow.

I'm rocking Continental ExtremeWinterContact tires and couldn't be happier. They are rated up there with the Nokian Hakka's. I drove to Mt. Baker yesterday for some early season riding and was VERY impressed with the immense amount of grip I had, even with a small RWD car. Only $70/ea too!

yup
2 winters ago i bought 912 drove for 2 weeks, until the storm came i was like fuck this. Drove all the way to maple ridge to get new conti tires, on my way i had to constantly counter-steer to correct the car otherwise i'd be in other people's lane. On the way back it was a breeze on the hwy, just plow thru the slush/snow like its a piece of cake
