god, after all the snow melt, the sand and shit is all left over on the small streets. WTF. riding season for me has started but it's like riding a bike on a fucking beach near the water.

Also, forget pot holes, it's like trenches in all the small side streets. wtf.

It's not riding season :troll:

For me it is.

Anyone planning to wash their cars?

i left my car out in the rain overnight on tuesday night and all the bird crap is gone...does that count?

i went to a friend's place and used his garden hose to wash out my wheelwells... after i was done his driveway looked like a sandtrap :(

I wanted the snow prior, but now I hope our weather stays like this. Hit a huge pothole and blew out the sidewall on my winters. Driving on PSS up front and winters in the rear now. :heckno:

Might as well wait till next year to buy a new set of 4?

fuking potholes EVERYWHERE :fuuuuu:

Depends what car and what condition the old snow tires are. If it's just 2wd, if the old snow tires are still above 7/32" tread depth, you could get away with running the old ones up front and get two new snows for the rear. But if it's an AWD car, sometimes they are very sensitive to mixing tires with different tread depths

I was in Van this week and I can't believe how fast all the snow melted. I flew in Wed night. Wow. If I hadn't known about it I would never have believed Snowmageddon actually happened.

Berz out.

This!! Driving slowly and scanning the road is the only way to avoid them.

I managed to hit a big one last week night time by langara college.

I'm surprised I didn't have a blow out. Drove by it again and its patched over :pokerface:

Old tires are several years old but around 5-6/32. I was going to get a full set of 4 no matter what but i'm on the fence whether to buy now, or in summer/fall when michelin has another rebate program.

i wish... in the middle of the night and early morning in this pissing rain and little street lighting they are almost impossible to see especially when they are full of water :(

i finally got to see that monster pothole on knight st. yesterday. it's the size of a smart car. i can see how that poor motorist blew out all four tires hitting that thing. COR filled it full of ashpalt but didn't compact it or anything so it's already falling apart... i'm expecting to hear about this one again soon.

golf this morning! seven fucking weeks later!

f*cking morning commute... it's a skating rink out there in north burnaby and langley, including the highways too :flamemad:

Thanks for the update........ heading out to the US. I will be careful.

Lots of black ice this morning. My tires lost traction a few times.

ditto in richmond.

It just looked wet this morning....until I took a corner a little too fast and boom tailslide :ohgodwhy: sure woke me up this morning

Ditto ... lost traction a couple of times on side streets which I was taking to avoid this major thing at the Knight St. Bridge with Hazmat clean up crew !! What a morning commute!

Ah, that's what that was this morning. I went northbound over the Knight street bridge and there was a serious multi car accident on the south end along with 3-4 fire engines and more police. Then at the same time on the north end, there was the hazmat incident with 4 fire engines and a couple of police cars.

Glad I was heading north and not south.

One of co workers did a 180 while speeding down gatensbury in coquitlam around the hilly part:lawl:

luckily he didn't hit anything

Speaking of snow. Canadian tire has 30% off most winter tires. Just decided to buy a set xi3 as it saves me $300 on the size i run

Maybe you'll get to test them out next weekend. We're supposed to get a bit more snow Fri/Sat.
