I had to look up what a whipper snipper was...I am actually in need of one. My free one is pretty much trashed, as it turns out.

17" of snow this month, and 6 last night. No sense on fixing something you cant see.

i have some canadian friends in my class - the idea of not having a winter car was mindblowing to them haha. and that most of the people in the class had never seen snow..

Yeah, I have seen snow. Used to ski every weekend...California was great cause you could surf, golf, and ski in the same day. But the idea of a winter car...well...I'm sure up in New York State I will get accustomed to it. Most likely it'll be my Echo, and I'll drive the Mustang in the good weather.

The thing that was (one of) the most difficult things for me to understand was what where the so-called summer tyres.
Then I discovered that what Americans call summer tyres are All-Seasons for us!

Visca Catalunya!
what's an all season tyre?

Like it Ferrer
Re "all seasons" is a compromise tyre with a usable operating temperature range that encompasses the middle region of the weather for a region.
So "al seasons" in Alaska sure ain't the same as "all seasons" in Texas !!
As opposed to "winter tyres" which have a lower operating temperature and good grip in cold conditions ( not just tread shape but compound too ) and "summer tyres" which are designed with compound better capable of coping with hot road temperatures.
So always be wary of importing tyres It's possible to get a tyre with compound that's too soft at your temperatures and will wear fast or is too hard for your cold days and will give very poor grip. ( The Bridgestones for the RX-8 suffered this with horrendous grip in cold wet Scottish "summers" !! )
"A woman without curves is like a road without bends, you might get to your destination quicker but the ride is boring as hell'
interesting, something to look out for when importing tyres from demontweaks and tirerack etc.

Yeah, it is confusing for us when we go abroad as well.
When people say "summers" here, they mean all seasons. We put all seasons on the Golf from spring till fall (when it is consistently above 7 C, now that I know more properly) and winters on when it is crappy. October to March or April. Wow, 6 months...
yeah, like i've never heard of anyone running different tyres according to what season it is haha.
well granted i should probably ditch the R888's for wet weather tyres come february.
