Default I guess you missed my post below?

I have no place to store them, ergo, no tires!


Is that really that hard to discern

Default Actually, I was very careful. learned to drive in the snow and have so for many moons

Endangering others, yeah, right!


I think the soccer moms were the scary ones ans they think they can when I realised I cannot and acted accordingly!



I will ask the local shop but think it'll be prohibitively expensive. Thanks for the tip though!

Default Umm.. wow.. what a GREAT reason!

There are a lot of places that will store tires for you.. including some dealerships. Do you not have a garage or basement? 4 tires stacked up doesn't take up that much space. Sure better than wrecking your car. If you're gonna drive on the same tires all year and have NO option to do otherwise.. then you're gonna want to run All Seasons.. not S03s which are SPECIFICALLY designed for warmer months.

Default Not gonna happen....

they would suck at the track.....


Problem is: I don't need my car to commute but am working on post Aq integration so I am using it.


Again, if this keeps up, I'll have to get some snows!

Default Nope

I live in a small apartment and have bno access to storage. Further, the dealre in my area would be the last place I'd store anything, even your car


Just waiting to get back into my old commuting routine!

But, to remind you, the 8000's were far superior and that ain't saying much either!
