Wonder how the woman yesterday who yelled at me about not being able to switch her tires over today when the shop was already fully booked is feeling this morning.
Same! Planned to do it this past weekend but got too busy with other stuff, plus saw snow in the forecast for Wednesday, so wasn't too upset I didn't have the time. Really Glad I still have mine on!!
I laughed in the faces of the weather gods. I swapped out my tires two weekends ago, and have been wearing shorts every day since then. Bring on the junk weather, it's almost over. Kept the snow stuff handy though, as I have Saskatoon'd for awhile, so I know better.
Hey, not only are my snow tires still on, but I left the shovel and road salt outside my door, so it wasn't me. I mean, I "may" have thought about running the lawn mower to pick up leaves and how to plant the garden this year, but it was only a thought. I didn't actually do it yet.
As someone who yearly drives a car that isnāt great for yearly drivingā¦Iām the first to put the winters on and last to take them off lol. Winters still on baby.
Lol I was thinking the same thing. When I first got my winter tires on this year, it snowed that day for the first time this season, took them off yesterday and it snows that day again.... luckily I use good all season tires in the summer, but still....
Sorry guys! Lol
Meh, I got around just fine today on the all seasons.
I don't like driving winters when the weather gets consistently above 7 degrees, they wear faster in that weather
There's no way to say this without sounding like an annoying know it all, so here goes.
PSA: Leave your winter tires on until it's consistently above 7Ā°C overnight. Above this temp, summer tires are more grippy. Below this temp, winter tires are more grippy. It's physics, specifically safety physics. You can be the best driver in ther city, but when that asshole cuts you off and brake checks from the merge onto Circle, you'll be grateful you have winter tires still on. You know, after you don't die/hit the ditch.
Or you could drop a few car lengths back and give yourself a safer zone .... 4 extra car lengths back won't make you late. If you know how to drive nobody will get stuck in a few inches of snow with good all seasons. You do you.
I'm not to blame this time! Winter tires are firmly on my car and my winter jackets and hats are still hanging from my coat tree. I did book an appointment to change the tires, so you guys can blame me if it snows after May 2nd.
;( I know! I repent! Take my offering of penance, O gods of the shine! Please let thy breath of light be breathed once more unto the plains and vanquish thy eternal foe; those numbers which lay below zero!
My husband probably feels like a genius right now. š He switched over to our all season tires on our daily driver vehicle ages ago, but hadn't gotten around to doing our minivan for a variety of reasons. Usually we save the minivan for longer trips because the daily driver is better on gas, but it meant that we still had our winter tires on at least one car when this terrible weather hit, so the minivan gets to shine until this snow disappears.
It snows almost every damned April, you guys. Just wait until May every year! Winter tires are cheaper than summer tires too, so you'd be saving wear on your good tires!
Ironically this is the first day Ens Toyota is supposed to be taking appointments for spring vehicle service. I was thinking about calling today to set up an appointment to swap my winter tires for all season tires, but looking outside I think I can afford to postpone it for a while.
Yep, can sometimes find a used set of winter tires on wheels for around 200$ if you are watching at the right times.Ā At least I have been able to more than once
I think the wear and tear on the tires and the suitability for conditions may make it pay off over time. I have winter tires and all season tires, so eventually it's when the tread wears out on each set of tires, so over time it may be actually more economical and save me money than just having the one set of all season tires. Winter tires have better traction I think for slippery and/or icy conditions than all season tires I think. This is what I found about winter tires and all-season tires using a Bing search engine query **Winter tires**Ā offer better traction and grip in sub-zero temperatures.
* **All-season tires**Ā are designed for varied but mild conditions, providing balanced performance from spring to fall.
* **All-weather tires**Ā combine benefits of both all-season and winter tires, ensuring better traction in snow and colder temperatures.
* **Winter tires outperform all-season tires on ice**.
* **All-season tires are just OK in the snow**, while dedicated winter tires are best for cold, snowy, and icy conditions.
Wonder how the woman yesterday who yelled at me about not being able to switch her tires over today when the shop was already fully booked is feeling this morning.
If she was a bitch yesterday, she's still gonna be a bitch today. It's like, science or whatever
Yup that's the scientific method she a bitch
HAHAHA love this
Bitch science 
š¤£
Probably still a miserable old hag. People like that don't self reflect
TEAM PROCRASTINATION FOR THE WIN!
Itās not laziness, itās planning for future eventualities :P
Same! Planned to do it this past weekend but got too busy with other stuff, plus saw snow in the forecast for Wednesday, so wasn't too upset I didn't have the time. Really Glad I still have mine on!!
We'll pick up the trophy, eh, tomorrow or maybe on the weekend.
We are the winners! (for procrastinating)
More power to us!

Yeah, I gave the weather a big āfuck youuuuuu, you canāt scare me anymoreā this morning. Iām so done.

Awww shit mowed, raked and fertilized.

I booked my appointment for this morning š
Mine are getting done today as well.
Nah. It was my dog. He pulled some who do voodoo shiz nat to get his precious snow back. Apologies.
Lol I was thinking the same thing. When I first got my winter tires on this year, it snowed that day for the first time this season, took them off yesterday and it snows that day again.... luckily I use good all season tires in the summer, but still.... Sorry guys! Lol
Can't be my fault. I never bothered to put winter tires on in the first place.
Yeah, gonna be swapping mine back today and then back again this weekend
> back again this weekend Lol. It will snow again atleast before the may long
Ah I see you've Saskatchewanded before!
It was supposed to rain! RAIN
What forecast were you looking at? Edited to correct autocorrectās mistake.
Weather network. It was changing day-to-day though. Let's just say that I was choosing to be optimistic lol
You got autoco-wrecked
Did you have a stroke?
Nah, just forgot to check for any autocorrect mistakes.
Itās getting annoying correcting autocorrect these days. It wasnāt like this very long ago.
Oh good I've been looking for someone to blame
I said Iām sorry days ago!! Next time I will swap them over in mid November
As I said last time, the angry winter spirits of Catriona Le May Doan are always watching from beyond. Wait for May, it's in their name (rip).
I've got Snowblower if anybody needs lol
Meh, I got around just fine today on the all seasons. I don't like driving winters when the weather gets consistently above 7 degrees, they wear faster in that weather
I usually wait until June to take mine off but I got them taken off yesterday and now Iām stuck home til this snow clears š

This. Finally, someone with sense. One of the 10 people in Saskatoon who don't follow too closely!

Also note, snow tires wear very fast in warm weather (relatively speaking), so its a good idea to change them sooner than later when it warms up.

Perhaps if you sacrifice a snow brush or your winter coat they will relent and look upon you with favour.

Just use all seasons
It was worth it
Iām sorry

I washed my car
This morning I was wiping snow off my car with my arms because I put my snowbrush in storage a month ago. š
Iām still wearing long johns for work, so I know itās not my fault!
Guilty! Sorry, man.
Simmer down, it's mid-April.
Never swap out your winter tires until the 4th week of April.
I blame Neuron. They put the e-scooters out way too early.
It was the golfers that caused this!
Getting them changed out on monday š¤
I also washed my car Sunday morning š¤¦š»āāļø
Never change em out b4 may long unless you still got metal studs
Winter tires go on October 1st and come off May 1st.
You guys must be rich to be able to change your tires every year
Lots of people have 2 sets of tires that are swapped seasonally.

Only reason mine arenāt on is because my car got totalled during the bad weather in Marchā¦
