Winter prep – timing is everything

Posted On October 5, 2009

I got the snow tires installed on both cars yesterday. This is the first time that I’ve ever been able to do it myself, and saving $240+ for an hour’s work felt great! It takes a considerable investment in extra wheels, and having an air compressor makes the job much easier, but the entire investment will be paid off in only 3 years. Not having to drop each car off at the tire shop for an entire day is big time-saver, too.

This was the view out the front window as Cathy headed off to work at 08:00 with studded snow tires under her – as I said, timing is everything 🙂

And this is the view out the back window a few minutes ago – the dusting of snow that was forecast gets deeper by the minute.
