Hi, Guest
OK, Nate - you got me. I hate buying two sets of tires constantly. I was dumb enough to drink the M+S-stamped koolaid that we've been fed for years and I believed that what was legal and labelled as proper no longer is.
I'll pimp out the dog and sell the house and buy winter tires... next year.
I'll agree with Oscar, then - BAN ALL SEASON TIRES. But the government shouldn'tt sit there and s*** on our plates and then call it legal sunshine by giving us the capacity to buy the tires, branded as suitable for our Canadian winters and then start this "mandatory winter tire" s***.
However, I'm a car enthusiast that currently drives a SUV. A SUV with large-ass, off and on road-geared tires. Tires that currently wear the M+S stamping with pride. So, I'll make this winter happen with what I have currently and we'll take it from there.
Again, we need to do something about the competency of the people driving! Tires alone will not solve this! If you want to drive during the winter, you should have to take mandatory winter driving training. Skid and spin recovery, proper driving techniques, how to rock your car out of a snowy rut, everything. THEN you'll be best able to use whatever is put on your plate.
Until then, advocating winter tires for the unskilled masses is like buying Nike or Reebok basketball shoes for every slack-jawed, drooling moron that steps onto a basketball court. Their feet may look nice, they may even get to move once in a while, but their performance is going to be the same: s***E.
