Default Yep...don't even THINK about it...

Just kidding. 8^) Actually, the sooner you get them the better. It always seems like Tire Rack and local stores sell out pretty quickly in the fall, so get them while you can. Not sure if too many places have them in stock now, but it's a good idea to figure out what you want and avoid the rush when it comes time to order.

Default i'm going snowboarding in a few weeks!!!

heading up to Whistler for snowboard camp!!!!

i'm betting my friend and i will be almost twice as old as most of the kids there, but they'll be 3-4 times better than us!! still, if i can take the award for oldest camper it'll be worth it.

Default FWIW - I had Blizzak LM-22s in 225/45-17 on the S4 the last 2 winters and they worked great...

We don't get a lot of snow in Denver, so I wanted an H-rated tire. They still handled mountain snow driving just fine and held up well even with all the dry road miles. I got 2 seasons out of them and they probably have 3-4 more left.

Default No.

Winter they are Private knucke scraper instructors trying to get the hang-low with the women. They scooped my wife up but trained her for free after realizing she was married.

Summer Time they do rafting tours and something else.

I primarily ski because that is who I am. I prefer mono-skiing over snowboarding but always welcome comfy boots and no equipment to really lug around. Maybe I'll buy a snowboard after I get my new sticks this fall.
