I had to get some coworkers to push me out of a space in a parking lot this lunch hour. Tiniest of grades, less than my driveway at home and I thought I was prudent backing in. Nope, stuck, pathetically snow by the smallest amount of snow and ice.
I bought my newish (2015) car this summer and the rubber on the all-seasons is in good shape. But the drive in this morning and then getting stuck in the parking lot and lickety split I was online with good old Canadian Tire for snow tires this morning and will pick them up after work then mount them myself when I get home (presumably 3-4 hours considering I'm picking them up at the front end of rush hour).
I normally own winter tires and have for the past 18 years but with some pay issues (as in not getting paid when I'm supposed to) I was holding off, like a fool. I figured part of the winter on all-seasons would be less than fun but doable. Nope, couldn't have been more wrong. These have to be the worst tires I've ever had for winter driving, worse than when I inherited my last car from the wife (she got the newer vehicle) and the tires were nearly bald. Even those ones performed better than these. Crazy bad.
