Snow Tires

[Jim Morrison]

Does everybody have their snow tires on yet? Had some Artic Claws mounted on winter rims put on yesterday. Wow, what a difference, great traction on packed snow & ice. Tire does not have a very aggressive tread but it sure chews through the snow.

If we get snowed in up here I will post again in the Spring after we "dig out". Have a good winter.

SNOW??

What's that?

 

[Rex Tyus]

I remember snow tires . I had the studded ones. My dad still laughs when I talk about them.

 

[Jim Morrison]

Rex,

I'm hoping that wasn't in Florida?

 

[Rex Tyus]

LOL! No. I had moved away for a few years when I was a corporate whore. I have lived in

Upstate New York (Ogdensberg,Madrid, Massena)
Bennington,VT (Near North Adams Mass)
Vernon/Rockville, CT (Worked in New Britain )

I have had enough Snow to last me a lifetime. We quit and moved home in April of '99. Life is good again. 8)

My wife is from New Foundland, Canada So I still have to endure the cold on occasion. Her family is so great I feel warmed from the inside while I am there though.

Don't let your wife see that it's "Newfoundland" They are great people, we are getting over run with them out west. Because of the decline in the fisheries a lot of them are coming out here to work in the oil patch. My daughter has a Newfie boyfriend. They are generally good natured and light hearted. (hope it does not sound like I am describing a dog)

I know a guy who served in Korea, he said each platoon had a Newfoundlander in it for morale purposes.

Too bad only people that have met a Newfie will understand that.

Newfies know the best Newfie jokes!
My dad couldn't keep up with them


Good all seasons on my dualies. with 200gals of water on the back and my diesel, I don't get stuck too easily. Plus, I gots me a hot water pressure washer on board!! The first snow storm I was in out here, almost got stuck 3 times then actually did right in my parking lot before I could park. I pressure washed the snow away from the pavement under the tires for about 6' each way, then just drove into my parking spot.

I wonder how many days of snow we'll get out here this year, last yr was about 18-21.
