TR will call you to confirm if your credit card is legit. After that they will ship it out to you. I ordered my blizzaks over a month ago and if i saw this rebate i would have gotten the michelins instead.

It's the specialty winter tires or summer performance tires that make a big diff.

ottawa doesnt see the moist cold air we do.
humidity works both ways, in hot environments, it makes it feel hotter.
in cold environments, it makes it feel bone chilling cold. Quote:

Well, since this thread is turning into "lets see your winter wheels" i'll add mine   
Yeah, i've got halos wired with my DRLs
anyway, these used to be my summer wheels but now because of my Evo 8/9 Brembo bbk I have to use them in the winter as well and because they're 18s and I didn't want to spend an arm and two legs for 18 inch winter tires I went with some Dunlop all seasons. Next year i'll be getting some new, lighter 18s for summer w/ my old yokohama summer tires.

This is getting ridiculous. I have a total of 28 tires in storage or running around, and there's 16 tires sitting in my garage.
I'm turning into a tire depot! 
On another note, the Bridgestone WS60's on the CSX are much quieter than the Goodyear RS-A's that came as stock tires, which is faintly amusing and quite indicative of the quality of the RS-A's.
The Civic even comes with Michelin MXV4's as stock, which is a much better tire.
