I checked out a few EVO cars last year and none of them had winters despite them having a ski rack on them.. Kind of shitty on BCAA's part

I lucked out at Richmond Costco when I went to pick my two tires up there Thursday night I told them I was gonna refund my installation and get my own shop to do it but he insisted on booking me in the next day and I got all 4 of my Blizzak WS80's installed 7AM the next morning. Quote:

Good for car2go to do that, shitty on BCAA's part

Costco also does walkins if you don't want be book a time. I went during a weekday at 4:30am and was the third person in line. The tire centre opens at 6:00am but we were let in at 5:00 so that they could get us started

I lucked out and one of the shops we deliver to is going to swap my tires for me on Wednesday for cheap.

I don't get it. They sell winter tires in the summer too. We've been talking about rebates and deals year round. Why are people desperately lining up for Costco now? Have we learned nothing about preparedness from last year? If they purchased the wheels and tires earlier they can have it installed at any shop. .png "Y U NO...?") | |

I think it's a combination of things. Not only are they backed up for installs, a lot of stock is back ordered at the manufacturer level. When I was in line the other day a lot of models are looking at a 4-5 weeks to arrive at the shop.
Not to mention their warehouse is jam packed with tires at maximum capacity. Richmond one at least.

Despite last year being a rough winter and the high anticipation for this year, some suppliers may still be on the backseat behind Quebec and Ontario.
This was the case last year. Nobody knew how bad it would end up being and our suppliers simply wouldn't / couldn't redirect enough tires from the east over to our side of the country.

Weather forecasts are all predicting warm wet weather for the next 7 to 10 days.
I don't like rolling on winter tires when it is above 10 degrees, but I'm surprised how quiet the Xi3's are. My old Hakka's were much louder on the highway.

Just FYI, Richmond Costco has now shut down all online ordering and in store special ordering indefinitely, until all the members who have already entered this winter tire shitstorm are dealt with.

I just dropped by my old work at CT, and holy shit. The free space in the shop (pretty much half the shop) is entirely occupied by 8 foot tall stacks of new tires. I got lucky.
