The RCMP are once again doing tire checks just north of Squamish, no more warnings this time - fines and towed if you don't have proper tires. If you are heading up for opening weekend in Whis, you better have proper tires as the roads are slippery.

^If I remember/read correctly, have to have winters on sea to sky this season
If they're allowing M+S, you'll probably have to have almost full tread pretty much

Kal Tire quoted us $1600 installed for a set of 4 Nokian WRG3.
Ordered from Discount Tire Bellingham and got them installed down there. $1100 Cdn all said and done. Pretty happy with the deal.

Went to Cypress today and so many people on All-Seasons and it was dumping all day. Lol.

Yea, its quiter than my summer prirellis.
Just this howling started when i got past 70km/h and gets pretty disturbing at 120km/h on hwy 99 and knight st bridge.
Maybe its the moisture+wind hitting the tight clearance between my rims and caliper  Hope it dries up tomorrow and will make a difference.
