I'm in denial that winter is here even though its Dec lol... only tonight did I finally put on a winter jacket. I still have my 452's on... I'm thinking I can maybe last till next weekend, not much snow in sight yet?

 

Yeah doesint seem like it... I think maybe atleast another 2 weeks before we see some on the ground...

 

My blizzaks are still sitting in my garage in Calgary... collecting dust and I endeavour to keep it that way!

 

Summer tires BABY! If the snow sticks, its BC Transit :-( I had to try and drive home on Victoria's first day of snow, cause I was parked downtown in a 2 hour zone. I woke up and looked out the window, and totally freaked out to see it snowing and sticking! Car sled like crazy, made it half way home. I sled into the next lane, lucky no car was beside me. Decided to shut her down after that. So please, NO SNOW!!!!!

 

LOLOL You pansies in victoria don't know how to drive in snow.

Wait a minute... I'M in victoria... and I have summer tires on!

Frick.

 

Haha im putting it off too!!

 

What?? I live in Saskatchewan; A month ago (or more), I got my car stuck at work in the snow with my summer tires (for 4 days!). I would not be able to leave my house period, without winter tires right now. Also... I can hear my undercarriage scraping on the snow grooves in the road. *laughs*

 

I put my winters on a few weeks ago when the temp dropped. I was too delaying it but I rather put the winters on while it's still not too cold out.

 

Evil Winter is almost here. I personally will not be driving my car in the snow, and i highly suggest others don't. I live in Nj and my mechanic tells me all the time about how 4 of his prev G35 customers lost their cars in the snow. RWD is bad on all platforms that aren't dry. Plus, I almost died the first time I drove my car on snow! Good luck to those who must drive their cars in the snow and be careful.

 

All I can say is, I'll be glad when they make it madatory to run winter tires like it is in Quebec.

 

Right on cue.

 

Mandatory winters is a very safe way to go, but it doesn't make sense everywhere for sure. If they can make it a municipal mandate, i think it'd work better. If you lived in Toronto now you'd be wearing away your winters. I've been in Calgary for 15 years and I think last year was the only year I wasn't able to ride my bike on the street in every month. A lot of cities don't need winters as a rule.

 

Winter wheels still sitting in the shed at the back, not putting them on until the day of first snow fall, they are brand new blizzaks and i don't intend to grind them out for no reason, i have new all seasons on the car so thats good enough for the lower temp, not too worried here.

 

Yeah, but with the weather being unpredictable these days. I can remember one accident where stopping two inches sooner would've been a wish granted. Just saying on any given day....

IMO if it's not "Mandatory", the wise will do it and the others won't. Still leaves me looking out for those that exercised their rights in a snowstorm.
Safe driving everyone whatever you're on.

 

I don't know what i was thinking running all-seasons before the law took place...lol



Also, it doesn't matter if there isn't much snow. it's the cold temps that are bad.
