win-win for the tire man

June 20th, 2009 by Bryan

Anyone else notice that about 30%+ of the cars on the streets of Montreal are still wearing their winter tires?  Lovely.

Dear Lazy people,

While you were forced into shodding your car with winter tires last fall, please take heed that while no one is forcing the reverse on you, it would seriously be in your best interest to put the summers (or all seasons) back on pronto.  Those winters were designed to stay nice and pliable at -20C… whereas driving them on hot pavement nearing +40C will DESTROY them quite quickly.

Other non-perks of leaving them on:

Terrible handling, poor fuel economy, shortened life span…
