Winter is far from over. We're still in for several shit events at least into April. I work on boats and people are calling me thinking they're going boating next week and then we get a foot of wet snow.
Also, if you get a break on your insurance for having snows, you'll get sweet FA if you take them off early and get in an accident.
I guess we’ll see how March fares. Though boating seems highly unlikely for now.
Good point on the insurance bit.
Luckily I don't drive much, so I'll just keep mine on and hope most jump on this so the Costco appointments won't be as crazy when I actually do try to book.
Every single year after waiting in Costco for 3 hours I tell myself I'll get it done somewhere else...
Smart. Have you considered doing it yourself? Goes pretty quick once you get the hang of it.
If I had room for the tools I totally would. All the tires are on their own rims and everything
Assuming your car has a scissor jack in the trunk for changing a flat, you can attach a power drill to it and then you just need a torque wrench to torque your wheel nuts.
This sounds... doable. Might just invest in a torque wrench this year!
Srs, after a few years of practice it's a 40min job and gives you a chance to inspect your brakes too.
I never put mine on. Probably the best winter I could have chosen to be lazy for lol
I can’t resist the urge to get mine changed once the temperature drop is on the horizon. The thought of salt on my good rims 😵
Haha I have the benefit of having a 15yr old car I couldn't care less for :)
