Albany had its salt trucks out for the first time this year last night...

I hate salt... This means winter is really here... COME BACK SPRING!

Yah - but don't look at it like its the return of salt, think of it as the new birth of a fun year in the snow

Getting snows put on Friday... Nokian WR's.

Until then... the signs of winter and my summer tires...

Don't worry, they'll be as clean as they can be for Sunday... lots of highway travel means lots of dirtyness.

What sort of rubber are are people putting on their cars this winter? Living upstate, I would imagine you'd by straight up snow tires and avoid the "all weather" tires many people use.

Thanks,

I actually use all weather, on AWD they work fine...

I am putting Nokian WR "All-Weather" tires on mine. They are supposed to be good year round but still qualify for severe duty (snow tires). I will be using them in the winter only... the tread is fairly deep.

I found 16" semperit snow tires for $54 each.
