Its forecast to be +6C, so any snow will melt as son as it hits the pavement.
Regardless its time to get off the summers. At those temps summer rubber turns into hockey pucks.

for all other lowered car people
no point in getting winters if the car is low as hell, and possibly be high centered

I'm still searching for used set of 215/45R18 snow tires on Craigslist. Stock wheels 18" FML.

FML my parents took the ES300 to calgary ... so now I either use the celica which is slightly lowered or take our c240, which i'm semi-paranoid about driving in the snow (not because it's RWD, but because my dad would freak out if anything happened to it)

it's good to see ppl on Revscene going from summer mode to winter mode. Too bad shitty translink doesn't give a crap except for reducing services.
Sooo... when is the city of vancouver going to salt the road? I'm always paranoid when there is salt on the road. Salt -> rust especially when it's too cold to wash cars.
