Make sure to read the fine print. The Bridgestone deal mentioned on RFD is applicable to those in the US only.

I ended up ordering Pirelli Ice Zero FR's for my parents from Costco, we will see how they do this winter. They were cheaper than everything else, including the Uniroyals, so took a bit of a gamble and went for them.

I'm debating whether to get a Costco membership just to get tires from them. Does anyone know if the tire warranty still applies if membership expires?

Just drove the 97c Connector from Kelowna to Merritt and the trees had their first few inches of snow sticking at the summit.

Sure people should have $1000 saved up as a rainy day fund but if you can put extra cash towards paying down your house and principle why not take it.
Applies to but not limited to: vehicle financing, student loan debts and credit card debts as well.

That’s true, better than putting it on an 18% credit card. It’s a slippery slope though when people start financing shit like that. Couches, TVs, etc. Gets people in over their head so fast.

Watch out for hidden fees on stuff like that, fees for paying a certain way etc. Better off using your own LOC and knowing what you're in for.

-a number of people who wight actually use the card for other things.
and
-People who might forget a payment, or lose track or otherwise fuck up, in which case they will staple them to the wall with fees and interest.

Just got new tires from costco and they filled up with nitrogen. This is the first time I got tires with nitrogen and I heard I can't fill up with regular air if I have low tire pressure.

nope you will need nitrogen again. good thing about nitrogen is that it doesnt leak out like regular air.

Filling up a normal tire with nitrogen is pretty pointless, since air is already 78% nitrogen and it's already full of air from when the tire was mounted (unless you have special rims). If a place does it for free then sure, but if they're charging extra for it tell them you don't want it. Filling up with air if the pressure is low also won't make a difference.

1. Normal air is 78% or so nitrogen, yes you can top it up with regular compressed air
2. Costco nitrogen systems are dry, no water gets into your tires unlike a normal compressed air setup
3. Tires are filled up with nitrogen, purged down to 5psi and once again filled up. *edit* tank purity is 97% minumum, tire purity is 95%
4. Nitrogen does not expand and contract as much with heat compared to air
5. Nitrogen does not permeate the rubber as much as air, less bleed through over time

The Canadian Tire "motomaster" tires are no longer house brand Motomaster tires, but instead are exclusive Goodyear Nordic Winter, which aren't too bad. My friend had a set on last year but they didn't perform well in the ice patch in his back lane. They have deep treads which are probably good in deep snow, but IMO, not enough siping for traction. If you come across the first gen Goodyear Nordic with the square treads, it's best to stay away from it because the design is outdated and the last production year was 2011 iirc.
Two other good brands that CT sells for a pretty good price are General Arctic Altimax and Continental WinterContact. They have plenty of siping for traction and should do well in wet and fairly ok in icy conditions (considering if you don't have studs, you'll still be slipping a bit but way better than A/S). Personally i have a set of the Generals on my car and it was a blast last winter. Obviously winter tires arent magic but it was great driving past those cheap guys who decided they didn't want to invest in winter tires. The WinterContacts just came out last year when i was still at CT, the tread pattern looks pretty great and felt pretty soft, i think they're a good choice as well.
