good price..i went with kal tire in surrey and it was around 50 bux but they were very accommodating and stayed longer than their normal business hours so i'm good with that..

Where is that? I want to go play............I just see rain.

Snow tires cause accident due to over confident drivers.
Stick with my HPF summers / all seasons / car based.

Because we get SO MUCH SNOW in Hongcouver.

:facepalm:

pics from last year of my epic 3 hour commute from burnaby to surrey that normally takes an hour... i still remember people posting "oh it dosen't snow in vancouver" and then this crap fell from the sky. i especially have a soft spot for the big courier truck sitting in the slow lane of the first pic. we were all lined up behind it thinking there was traffic in front of it, but in reality, it was just abandoned there with no hazard lights or a driver. good times.

Putting on snow tires today. Can't wait to hit the mountain.

Snow tires do not exist. Winter tires do, and they exist for the purpose of doing what their name implies: winter use.

All-season rubber does not grip as well as winter rubber does in cold weather, hence the term winter tires. Snow is not a prerequisite to slap on winter tires.

Don't be an ignorant clown. Put on some winter tires.

Still not using winter tires in Saskatchewan here, where you know we actually get a winter. MT's are doing just ok with a little bit of common sense.

Although having a lunchbox locker in the back makes things interesting...

What do you mean?

I used to always dump a good pile of snow at the very back of my bed to keep the back end weighed down. really helped stop the wheel spin on hill starts.

He doesn't literally mean a metal cabinet that holds lunches (lunchbox locker)

He means a device in the rear differential that makes the two rear tires spin at the same speed. It's like a Limited Slip differential in a sense.

Lunchbox Lockers - What is a Lunchbox locker?
