Lots of fun when you get a stuck wheel with a 35 sidewall i've split 2x4's hitting the rim/tire to get it off.

I put my winter tires on yesterday. My other tires are scary and ready for replacement. What a difference!

FYI - in case anyone is going down to the US to get tires installed - I was coming back from Blaine on Tuesday and they are actively checking for new tires (i.e. ones that are installed on the car) when you cross over. The guy stuck his head out the window and used his flashlight to check each of my tires while I was stopped at the booth. (my winters are 3 years old so obviously not an issue for me) I thought I'd warn those who were thinking of sneaking new tires over the border - declare them because they ARE checking now.

Did a super fast tire swap before heading back to ubc after dinner today, pit crew style. I've reduced the time it takes to less than 30 minutes including moving the car around etc since I don't have a big enough garage to do it without reversing sides haha.
So very glad I spent the time today. Posted via RS Mobile |

Was able to swap in the conti DWS's this morning just in time. Handled amazing in the wet snow conditions. The real test will come when it really starts dumping though

I thought I could hold out longer but ended up changing them a few hours ago.
Man, using an emergency jack is a pain in the ass.
Can't wait to record idiot drivers

Still looking for some cheap steelies, so no tires or driving in the snow for now. At least it looks like all-seasons can deal with the current weather for a bit.

just started looking at winter tires (since I got scared shitless last year driving up knight with my morelikedryperformancetires "all seasons").
What should I be looking for? I'm just looking at the cheapest General Tire ones at TireRack...
