New shoes Canada style

Nothing wrong with that! Do you have Alaska’s number?

 

I’m going to get a few laps in before lunch! Some front crawl action.

 

Be safe up there. Rinks still closed but there's surf. I might swallow my pride and start roller blasting out playing

 

I would get some conical seat lug nuts to use with the stealies. The stock lugs are good enough for a temporary spare but for all winter on all fours I’d get some acorns.

 

Those needs some studs.

 

Whew nice ones! I wish I could run studded

 

Studs. Steel rims for winter > *

Cool setup to the OP. I went for studs because I'm cheap and it works for me. Blizzak is probably a nicer choice for highway miles.

 

I finally went to 3 sets of tires this year. Still have the factory rubber but will replace with ugly, hard ass Michelins for Max highway mpg for good weather driving. Duratracs for hunting season. And now, proper snow tires for winter highway. I’ll be putting them on shortly.

 

Yes because divorce is too expensive

 

Sorry I thought you said chunk

 

Had a couple chances to test them out. They're like having a cheat code for winter driving.

 

Those steelies are sexy! To hell with the haters.

 

I do like me some stealies. Ran them on my old FJ.

 

Solid investment

 

I though Canadians used Snow Tires all year long.

 

Just noticed, you do need to change your lug nuts. Winter will destroy them.

 

Ya I got a set with the rims but they ended up being the wrong size. Going to swap them this week.

 

My main gripe with the studs is the noise.

 

I see them as an option, but certainly not the Holy Grail. Still a good choice within a budget range. My way of sealing with freezing temps and snow and ice issues was to move to more southern climes. It was 83 degrees F today, and I was out in the yard in my shorts and T shirt doing yard work. Love'n it!
