Hey Shumby, did you get those from Ericksen? How did you like them for the ride last year? I'm getting mine next week.

Ask your parents to send you some and some for me also.

Yea, we get tickets now for not having winter tires, It's a new law in Quebec. all they have to do is walk in a parking lot and look at the tires, if it doesn't have the snowflake symbol. It's an automatic ticket. first offense is 300 then 600 and i dunno what the 3rd one is.

apparently, Quebecers are not safe drivers, so they had to pass this law.

Na I got them from "tire warehouse" Could not use my tire coupons at erickson's. I think I saw your wheels when I was there yesterday sitting behind the parts counter. Tires ride god in the snow. But don't try to push t hard on dry corners no where near as sticky as the summers and you tend to slid a bit more. lol. I found that out as the gard rail on the exit to Leduc got a little close to my passenger side. But it is all good I was really going tooooo fast.

I do the same thing, I park my car in the winter. I have a beater for the winter (well it's actually pretty nice it's just not...uh...cool ):

I wouldn't want to drive something as that costs near $40,000 through snow and salt, especially with the other horrible drivers on the road.

I really like the yokohama IG20, i have these for another car. They really are great. These are not snow tires, they are mainly slush and ice tires, which is better because my area gets icy and slushy.
