Default w00t! Just picked up my new snow tires. Bring it on old man winter!

Since I have two sets of wheels (thanks Joe!) I figured I'd get it done with now before the mad rush in November.
195/65 15 Winterforce radials. Made by Bridgestone/Firestone, but (according to the tire guy) not marketed under the Bridgestone name so they don't cannibalize Blizzak sales. The tread pattern looks pretty badass IMO. Should be a HUGE improvement over the 'all seasons' I ran last winter.
They have good reviews over at Tirerack, and were considerably less expensive than Haaka's. $328 including tax, mounting/balancing, new valve stems, and old tire disposal.

Default I was almost going to go shopping for my winter tires last week, then I remembered...

I live in Florida. Still not used to it (weather) after a year here.

Default lol, maybe you should get some big balloon super swampers

so your car will float when the hurricane's hit.
(jk, I hope you're fairing well down there)
