Really? I didn't find them to be that loud.. even on the 407 at high speeds they were ok

$40 is expensive for changing tires already mounted. Smaller shops should be doing it for $20 to $25 cash but I'll suggest you do it yourself, it builds character lol

Thanks, with the stock summer tires. Does it matter where I put it? Or are they all interchangeable...

Winter? Over? Please tell the weather man... He's calling for 15cm of snow here on Thursday and another 10cm on Friday. This car has been great through LOTS of snow this year. I was running Bridgestone Blizzak WS-60s (205/55/16) on steelies. If the weather forcast sticks, I'll be up in the garage tomorrow night to put them back on.

If you're asking about the rotation the manual suggests a rearward cross

i.e. the rear wheels go straight to the front wheels, and the front wheels cross to the opposite side when moving to the back

see this link for the RWD/AWD cars under diagram A:

I'm tempted to ask a garage to swap my summers on tomorrow and see if they'll try and stop me, considering the forecast, or if they'll just take my $20 and run.

Mine drove pretty well in the Chicago snow. If you put bags on sand in your trunk, you should be fine.

Been there, done that. Moved from there in 1996 (never been a snow/cold person) and headed to Kelowna, BC. Don't regret it at all. Was 21C here like a week or so back.

My poor parents and pretty much everybody else I know is still stuck out there... Oh well, at least you got the Jets. :P

Im so tired of this snow.....

Can everyone idle their car so we can create global warming and never have to see snow ever again??

Made it though winter great...oh wait it's not over yet apparently. 5-10cm on Friday and another 5 on Tuesday, stupid me took the extreme winter contacts off already. Great winter car heated seats are amazing and with 100lbs in the back I was plowing snow almost as high as the mustache.
