We sure don't. We do not like the idea of doing things half asses to be honest. An all weather is okay in everything, but good at nothing. A dedicated snow tire would kick its ass.
Then by this logic ... so are all season tires. Everyone should get a set of dedicated summers and a set of dedicated winters?
Desperate to melt the ice? Don't use beach sand, says Vancouver Park Board...'We do not want people to ... start loading up truckloads of beach sand,' says director of parks

Was driving on Marine towards Knight bridge and saw an older model C class with half of its windshield and its whole hood still covered in snow, the car pulled into the left turn lane and was waiting for the left turn signal to get on the bridge. The driver (or passenger?) from the car in front of it got out and wiped everything clean on the windshield.

I love how they have the money to afford putting their kids into private school but didn't bother to stock up on salt.
Or pay someone to maintain their sidewalks free of snow/ice.

“Is salt an issue of survival at this moment? Absolutely not. But really, our brain starts to interpret even small threats as extreme, even dangerous triggers,” says Samra, a clinical psychologist in Vancouver.
She adds there can be a number of triggers in our day-to-day lives. “The vast majority of things that create stress and extreme responses for us are not life-threatening. It’s the way we’re wired as humans. Most of us can relate to going through our day-to-day life and feel like we’re responding in kind of extreme and unmatched ways.”

VANCOUVER (NEWS 1130) – From scuffles for free salt, to stealing sand from beaches, this winter weather seems to have brought out the worst in some people. And that same attitude is likely to prevail in the case of a more serious disaster or emergency like an earthquake.
Running out of salt may not seem like a huge issue, explains Dr. Joti Samra, but it can be enough to set off a trigger.

And that could easily be compounded under more severe emergency circumstances. “We sometimes engage in ways that are very different from what we might normally do. And what ends up getting triggered often is a fight or flight stress response. Some of the aggressive behaviour that we’re seeing is really a reflection of that fight response.”
Meaning once a certain mentality kicks in, it’s hard to reverse it. “What happens is we’re not very rational when it comes to stressful situations. It’s why we sometimes behave in ways that are very difficult to understand in hindsight or from an outsider’s perspective,” says Samra.

If anyone is looking to get their tire mounted and balanced, I got a guy named Greg off Craigslist who does it in his garage at your convenience for cheap. Did a good job mounting my 15" steelies at 8pm at night, he's located in surrey by patullo bridge. $60 cash... I called around and everyshop was booked till next week and was getting quoted $120+
looks like today is going to be the last clear day in awhile....

Lol I went to this guy 2 weeks back to mount tires on steelie.
Apparently he learned how to mount and balance off YouTube. Most of the weights he did not have in stock. Had to re-use some old one, or cut new ones in half, or combine 2 to make it work.

The machines he has are good shit though. If I had a garage I'd love to invest in some used machines like he has. I dick around enough with wheels that the price would be evened out after a couple of years of just me, not including any CL / friends business
If anyone is still looking and doesn't want to deal with a dude in a garage - Pitt river auto service in PoCo mounted mine for $100 cash deal, super friendly persian guy owns the shop. Cheapest I could find in tri cities.
