Hey bud, you're welcome down here. Lots in the beer fridge. I can't match Shane's homemade stuff though. I've been out of that business for years now.

Yes, 31 the other day set a record. The humidex was 38.

Haha, you'd probably need more than me to help polish all that off.

I could always venture out there and put a good dent in your beer and wine stocks, of course I guess that would mean I would have to bring the smoked fish for those that don't like dulse

Do you guys go down to narrower tires for the winter or do you stick with the 225/235s? Infiniti's offering a package of rims and LM-22's for $1571 installed, which is tempting, but they're the full 225/235 setup for the coupe. I was intending on going narrower, but what do you guys think?

I own a sedan but if I had the coupe I would go with the same size front and back for winter and I would go with 225/55/17 all around so the speedo would still be accurate since they are around the same diameter as your stock rear tires.

Check out Steelcase Tires in Markham http://www.steelcasetires.ca/. They sometimes have pretty good prices on winter packages.

It might also be worth your while to check the price of a complete package from the same place Swivelhips purchased from: http://www.tirerack.com/

Thanks, GEE35X. One thing I really like about the offer from my dealer is that they'll store my summer tires/wheels for me, so I don't need to worry about either getting a friend to come with me (since I can't fit all 4 in the coupe) or signing up for some full wheel storage service that'll pick them up for me and charge $300.

I'll check out Steelcase. I have considered TireRack but really don't want to deal with the hassle of importing the stuff, getting it delivered to my apartment, then having to get a friend to truck them to the shop to swap them out.

Since I took your thread completely off topic Wayne, anytime you are out east I'll treat you to a nice long conversation about the sport of golf and I'll put in your favorite movie, Faceoff! I know how you are a HUGE Nicholas Cage fan!

Seems like most Canadian threads come back to beer? Or maybe it's just the ones I'm on. Anyway, at some point I do intend to get down East and try one of Shane's beers. What do you brew? Can I put my order in for an Alt Amber Ale?

Oh now you're just asking for it. Next you'll be reminding me the Flames lost to the Oil last night...
