Snow Tires

[donKey jote]

we've got our own ice track and icemaker (donkey can't find the start button ) on location now

That thing looks awesome, I'd drive it to work if I had it.

I'm in Quebec this week and can't get over the fact everyone with a car is required to have snow tires on. So many new cars on steel wheels. Even when I was living in Colorado most people were too cheap to have a set. That said it hasn't snowed, yet, even up here.

steel wheels? Damn those Quebecois are cheap

There's typically a lot of salt laid down on our roads during winter which corrodes alloy wheels.

[donKey jote]

salt doesn't corrode alloy wheels as much in Germany... maybe they wash their cars more often

[schmenke]

-15 deg C temps aren't ideal for car washing . We usually endure the grime until springtime when we can hook up a power washer : .

I guess hooking up a power washer is cheaper than paying for a car wash

I spoke too soon. I drove through an ice storm to find Quebec City under a lot of snow with driving sleet. I need some of those covered wiper blades for ice.

Especially when I borrow the neighbour's power washer :
