Enjoy throughout the winter months!


However, if you have a second car and the means for storage, do what Soundman said.
Or do as I do...
Take car to tire shop that stores my snows.
Sip coffee and smoke cigarette while watching new tech try to put lowered car on lift designed for raised pick up trucks.
After a few chuckles at their total bafflement go and tell them to move it to bay one with the lower hoist.
Sip more coffee while they change tires.
Pay my $40 storage and change fee.
Drive away.
Repeat with summer tires in spring.
