It got better after I left the customer. I was east of the lake. As soon as I got South, it warmed up. I did miss a left hand turn. Car went straight when I tried to stop.

What is this "snow" stuff you speak of ?
A Witches Brew!
Well I just ordered my wheels for the winter. After talking to Kyle at Tire Rack he made it clear to me that smaller really is better so I ordered some 17x8" wheels and some 225/55/17 WS-60 Blizzak's to go on them.
The outside diameter is the same as the stockers but these things will look goofy as all get out on this thing... 17" wheels instead of my stock 19" wheels? LOL
Here's the wheels http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Wheel...r=&qty_front=4
I actually like the design. Understated but nice. Much like the stockers which I like too.
Kyle said the WS-60 was rated number one by them and said they out performed the studded tires. I've never had winter tires so I am looking forward to trying them out. He said these are the shiz nits!
Oh and I went without the TPMS on them. 288 bucks is NUTS! I will live with the stupid light! 1078.59 was the total delivered to my door and I will install them meself!
Cheers,
Chris

Same here but that will be dropping on Friday to the 40's. It won't be long until I need the snows on it.

Q: Do the prices jump at the first sign of a snowflake ?
LOL
No, everyone goes to the store and empties it of milk, bread, eggs, beer. Being from Calif. I wasn't prepared for this. I had to get milk at the gas station. LOL!
Rest in Peace Charlie!

Snow tyre prices don't jump ?
The price of fuel jumps here as soon as the first little old lady in Canada turns on her house heater.
