If I was in Toronto only it would be funny but I'm not.

Besides, whether I'm on snows or all seasons there is still wear and tear on "a set of tires", I've effectively doubled the life of my all seasons by having winter wheels so the only real cost is $40 each for some steel wheels bought 3 years ago; so what is that 53 bucks per year so far?

I spent more than that on booze, smokes and potato chips last weekend and never left the house.

Winter 2005/06 my cost will be $40 for the pleasure and in 2006/07 it will be $32.

There is no labour involved as tires have to be rotated anyway, not that that I pay to get it done, I do it myself.

Considering all the money wasted on crap like LED washer nozzles, tacky body kits, ICE, bling, tint & blue headlight bulbs how can anyone laugh at someone for getting some snow tires?

Everyone can and some do drive carefully but nobody is perfect and the potential payback if I or someone else happens to screw up and the winter tires do there job just once is astronomical.
