Here we are in the middle of summer, in the midst of a heatwave (it's suppose to be 46 with the humidex today) and I have one thing on my mind. Winter tires.
We live in Ottawa, which can get hit very hard by winter weather sometimes but growing up in southern Ontario, winter weather driving was a concern maybe two days a year so we were easily able to get by using all-seasons. It seems that this thinking has been difficult for me to overcome.
That coupled with the fact that we have had new cars with brand new all-seasons since we have moved here 6 years ago, I thought we have been fine.
However, now I have someone else to take care of. Bad on me for my wife and I not being a good enough reason, but it can no longer be ignored.
I will now be on the lookout for new winter tires this year. And as an earlier post of mine alluded to, this will be a long process of comparative shopping.
