Snow tires?

[HEyHEY]

My rear tires are in great shape, but I need new ones for the front. Usually I'd get uniroyal or blizzaks. But I didn't wanna spend a crud load this year. Would you guys recomend those Canadian tire ones? Ever have experience with them?

1. I had them on the T-Bird and never had a problem.

I have Goodyears on the Firebird now though.

[democracy eh]

2. I cheated death in a whiteout pile up between Montreal and Drummondville

bad bad conditions
after a lucky guess as to which way the car ahead of me had skidded out, (total white out) I pulled off at a Canadian Tire and bought Motomaster Tires (all they had available), they performed admirably and got us safely to Ontario. I can't comment on durability (only had them one season) but they worked well in the snow.

3. Wow, somebody from Vancouver

who actually knows what snow tires are... and is considering putting them on his car before January!! Considering where you are (and pretty well everyone I know who drives from Nelson to Vancouver has car problems there - I've never been able to figure out why other than the place is cursed) I would say get the good ones. Hell, I keep good studded snow tires on my truck (little '88 Ford Ranger), chains for emergencies, and a rack with five cinder blocks for weight in the bed - and I live in the Lower Mainland. Things that directly affect my safety, I prefer to spend the money on... I'll save on electronics and clothing instead.

Any word on the radio gig yet?

4. I'm going to go see them again tomorrow I think
