Then by this logic ... so are all season tires. Everyone should get a set of dedicated summers and a set of dedicated winters?

I think there is a niche for all weather tires.

Was driving on Marine towards Knight bridge and saw an older model C class with half of its windshield and its whole hood still covered in snow, the car pulled into the left turn lane and was waiting for the left turn signal to get on the bridge. The driver (or passenger?) from the car in front of it got out and wiped everything clean on the windshield.

Hopefully all their wiper motors take a shit

Como Lake Park is cleared for ice skating/hockey. No ice fishing

I love how they have the money to afford putting their kids into private school but didn't bother to stock up on salt.

Or pay someone to maintain their sidewalks free of snow/ice.

Hey $20k a pop x 3 you do the math.

Could be Catholic schools.

Maybe they are building a big sand castle for school project?!:lawl::lawl:

Sure but Material science is not magic. You can not wish things without some kind of compromise.

Winter Tire needs to be soft in cold, but in hot it will start to be too sticky.
Summer tires are soft in hot, but in winter it gets turns hard.

Plastics works in a temperature range and wear range.. basically it is a balance.

New All Seasons M&S first layer is winter capable. You just don't want to use it after you have wear it in.

Winter weather bringing out the worst in some people, says expert - NEWS 1130

Oh and more free salt at Firehall!!

“Is salt an issue of survival at this moment? Absolutely not. But really, our brain starts to interpret even small threats as extreme, even dangerous triggers,” says Samra, a clinical psychologist in Vancouver.

She adds there can be a number of triggers in our day-to-day lives. “The vast majority of things that create stress and extreme responses for us are not life-threatening. It’s the way we’re wired as humans. Most of us can relate to going through our day-to-day life and feel like we’re responding in kind of extreme and unmatched ways.”

Spoiler!

VANCOUVER (NEWS 1130) – From scuffles for free salt, to stealing sand from beaches, this winter weather seems to have brought out the worst in some people. And that same attitude is likely to prevail in the case of a more serious disaster or emergency like an earthquake.

Running out of salt may not seem like a huge issue, explains Dr. Joti Samra, but it can be enough to set off a trigger.

“Is salt an issue of survival at this moment? Absolutely not. But really, our brain starts to interpret even small threats as extreme, even dangerous triggers,” says Samra, a clinical psychologist in Vancouver.

She adds there can be a number of triggers in our day-to-day lives. “The vast majority of things that create stress and extreme responses for us are not life-threatening. It’s the way we’re wired as humans. Most of us can relate to going through our day-to-day life and feel like we’re responding in kind of extreme and unmatched ways.”

And that could easily be compounded under more severe emergency circumstances. “We sometimes engage in ways that are very different from what we might normally do. And what ends up getting triggered often is a fight or flight stress response. Some of the aggressive behaviour that we’re seeing is really a reflection of that fight response.”

Meaning once a certain mentality kicks in, it’s hard to reverse it. “What happens is we’re not very rational when it comes to stressful situations. It’s why we sometimes behave in ways that are very difficult to understand in hindsight or from an outsider’s perspective,” says Samra.

There have been pictures of families scooping sand from Vancouver’s beaches surfacing online, while NPA City Councillor Melissa De Genova is calling for an official inquiry into the City of Vancouver’s handling of the salt and ice fiasco.

If anyone is looking to get their tire mounted and balanced, I got a guy named Greg off Craigslist who does it in his garage at your convenience for cheap. Did a good job mounting my 15" steelies at 8pm at night, he's located in surrey by patullo bridge. $60 cash... I called around and everyshop was booked till next week and was getting quoted $120+

I would have moved over so as not to be driving in the ruts...........

looks like today is going to be the last clear day in awhile....

Apparently he learned how to mount and balance off YouTube. Most of the weights he did not have in stock. Had to re-use some old one, or cut new ones in half, or combine 2 to make it work.

The machines he has are good shit though. If I had a garage I'd love to invest in some used machines like he has. I dick around enough with wheels that the price would be evened out after a couple of years of just me, not including any CL / friends business

If anyone is still looking and doesn't want to deal with a dude in a garage - Pitt river auto service in PoCo mounted mine for $100 cash deal, super friendly persian guy owns the shop. Cheapest I could find in tri cities.
