Where I live all the seasons are postponed by 2~ months. It's really loving weird getting summer-warm Novembers and winter-cold Aprils/Mays; all scenarios barely getting any sunshine anyway.

Alright I'll admit it: Winter Tires is probably the weakest of the Let's Talk About It series I've done so far

Maybe tomorrow I'll find something better on my desk/ out my window

That's a high quality avatar right there.
Never used winter tires, just got good at driving in the snow.

I live in New England and our snow is really heavy and wet. The best thing I ever used in the snow was by accident. I got a flat once and had to put on the spare tire doughnut in January. That thing SLICED through the snow. Even though it was only one tire, that week was still the best handling I've ever had in the snow. I was kind of bummed to get the new tire on.

Can't ride on doughnuts forever :(

Spare batteries are pretty key.
When I grew up in Michigan, nobody used 'winter tires'

Now that I'm in Colorado everybody has a set and worries about the right time to swap them.

I think the real question is "summer tires: why even bother"

A decent set of All Seasons have always been fine to me unless you live in the boondocks in a blizzard or are like driving up a mountain or something.

I've never used them before, but I'm in Chicago for the winter again, and my car is easily the worst I've had to drive in winter conditions (Genesis Coupe). Gonna get some winter tires this year, see how it goes.

Wrong.

Vehicles are direct representations of your penis and therefore must be taken care of personally because you are a real man.

I have a Ford Focus with a graphic "FoFo" on one side and "2 fast, 2 bicurious" on the other.

I'm gay.
