Safi gotta stop posting those pics.   My little guy is asking questions... 

The snows are on my Honda now.   I went for the $60 tire changeover special at Goodyear.   The girl behind the counter had a magnificent set of headlights.



That is worth $60 right there. Your little guy can ask questions? Impressive. ;D

They're just called CT Nordics now.  New generation.   :)  Do you find them wobbly?

A little bit.  I guess it takes some getting used to.

Yes, they were quite distracting. 

He's 6 years-old.  He just passed that everything is a why question phase.

I've had snows on both the Miata and the G35 since late November.  We've seen but one minor snowfall and it makes you wonder if it is worthwhile.

We are heading to Florida through the mountains on I75 in a couple of weeks.  There is always a tradeoff - a bit more noise and a little softer handling to gain the peace of mind on the highway if snow starts to fly.  We have driven through the smokies in snowy conditions and we weren't worried about us losing control, but were thinking of the people in the SUV's because they think they are immune to the laws of physics.

We had a handful of SUV's in the ditch the last time.

I'm seriously thinking of taking the snow tires off and selling them. Not much need this year so far. I bend rim so right now the Escort has two winter tires on Miata alloy wheels at the rear and two crappy all seasons on steel rims at the front  :rofl2:

I hope you complimented her on them.  ;D
