Like clockwork. Amazing how they all find each other's posts

Ironically, dash cams would probably save us money, but drivers think we're spying on them 24/7 as it is with GPS, telematics, etc.

What they usually forget (somehow) is that our phone number is plastered to the side of their vehicle and plenty of other folks have dash cams.

We've let people go based on footage more than once.

Anyway, back to how much snow tires suck.  8-)

Yeah, we all post together when we aren't busy licking meat juices off of each others' fingers and chins.

I love that my first thought is whether or not you pluralized Chins because there are multiple people or multiple chins per person.

The car (Camry) is going to need new tires soon. Anyone have any resources they can point me to that would help me figure out WTH I should be buying here? FWIW I'm basically a car noob.

Costco when they’re doing 1 cent mounting and $150 off. Free balance and rotations for life too. Got Michelin Pilot S tires for my X1 for around $600. Did a lot of research since I occasionally drive in the mountains to ski and needed good all-season tires that handled well in snow and rain. No regrets 2 years in.

Avoid run flats. They came on my car. They had to be replaced with 30K miles and are more expensive. Not worth it!

Totally agree on the run flats. Had them on a C300 a while back, and they made a smooth-riding car ride like crap.

That stretch on P, between Soft Pines and Sidelines is a bumpy M'efer, eh?  Gotta be the worst stretch of road in all of WI.

Damn straight. What do you expect from Dougie County?

The tires are the things on your car that make contact with the road.
