It got so warm today I sweated bullets.

You should box and sell them.

Anyone know a good cheap place that installs? and stores your tires?

Volco tires do storage for $60, I think

i caught the tail end of a radio commerical from canadian tire saying they are now also offering storage service... does anyone know how much it costs?

Would be sweet if we could get someone like NTW or Kal Tire to do a RS Members swap and store deal.

Got mine on today :fuckyea:

thinking of putting mine on tomorrow

Oh, for the shocking amount of people i see doing this... Snowies that have so little tread left that they look like slicks are going to be 100% useless in ANY condition.

Except maybe when driving in an ice rink. Honestly though, it's pretty sketch since minimum tread depth for snow is around 4-5/32".

BUT THEY HAVE SNOW TIRES ITS WAY BETTER.

I assumed people were not completely retarded... I should really stop giving people the benefit of the doubt...

In other news, I just put on my snowboard racks and I am off to whistler in about a 1/2 hour. OPENING DAY HERE I COME!!!!

i was in deep cove tonight and all the cars coming down from mt. seymour are covered in snow... snowboarding season is here!

Put them on both Jettas on Monday. RSX gets garage treatment once the roads start being salted.

Quick question.

FWD.

WINTEr Tires with most tread front or rear?

^Front

^^ I dunno as per this article



Two Tires Done Wrong. New Tires must go on the Back.

The depth of tread on a tire directly impacts at what point a tire will begin to hydroplane.

FACT: Tires on the front will typically wear more than tires on the rear of a vehicle.

FACT: If the tires are rotated every 5,000 to 8,000 miles, the tires on the vehicle will have reasonably even tread.

FACT: Many people don't rotate their tires every 5,000 to 8,000 miles. Thus, when they have their tires looked at, the front tires have worn out and the back tires still have some tread life left on them. It is thus necessary to only replace the front tires.

FACT: If one pair of tires has more tread on them than the other pair, then the pair with less tread will begin to hydroplane with less water on the road surface than the other pair.

FACT: If the pair of tires which begin to hydroplane first is on the front of the vehicle, it is far easier to regain control of the vehicle. First, the driver will feel the skid in the steering when the skid begins. Second, the intuitive action of taking your foot off the accelerator and steering into the direction of the skid will prevent loss of control. When it is the back tires which begin to skid, it is much more difficult to control. The loss of control is much harder to detect because it isn’t felt in the steering wheel and the actions to control are counterintuitive (turning away from the direction of the skid).

Thus: Every tire manufacturer recommends that the new tires (or in a rotation situation) that the tires with the most tread be mounted on the rear.

I'm ready for SNOWWW

Wtf, are you new here? Welcome to earth Daven Dingus.:suspicious:

Drove the Coquihalla last night. Got stuck behind some semi trucks that didn't bother chaining up before attempting the peak of the Summit going towards Hope and ended up waiting for a good couple hours before the tow trucks and snow plows could make enough space for us to squeeze by. Lots of snow between Hope and Merrit, but around the Snow Shed had a good 6 inches on the unplowed lanes, and it was covering a nice thick sheet of ice.

First real workout for my new tires in 4x4 mode and they rocked like a champ.

I'll try to pull some sketchy dash cam footage later, though. Have I ever mentioned I hate being passed by semi trucks while driving in slush? :rant:

just put on winter tires (on rims) last tuesday. $25 at openroad toyota richmond.

I assume this is $24.99 + tax?

How much in "shop fees" did they tried to charge you?

put on my snow tires today.. but 1 of them has a delamming sidewall fuuuu

actually, $24.95 + tax.

no shop fees for me.
