I just had mine done Saturday. Temperature here in Edmonton is supposed to get cold now so it looks like it's just in time. Though the last couple of years we had permanent snow by Halloween.

^^ Watch out, that cat looks like it has car theft on its mind.

She's a sneaky one alright. I left a window down while I was changing the rims. Darned cat got inside and left muddy pawprints all over. ::)
...



On the bright side, she didn't try to run you over.   :D




I know what being :censor:-whipped is, but what would you call that?  :rofl:

C'mon Saffy, this is yer chance... ;D

There must be something afoot.  Expecting a cruel winter, are you Albertans?

Or 7-8 other people planning to go to the mountains too. 

I prefer to do my own installs, less hassle fighting with other people in line.

I think it's the end of the Blizzack sale price.

They were already sold out of their winter rims!
