Originally, the weather forcast said snow this week. Now it looks like less of a chance, but Todd and I figured it was a good idea to initiate the annual Snow Tire Blitz.
We started off taking off my alloys and Goodyear RS-A's, and put on steels and Goodyear Ultra Grip Ice's... The two front ones may have to be junked after this winter, but the rears are still good.
Next, we had to plug one Firestone snow tire, move the cars around, and swap the Firestone with a police spec Goodyear Ultra Grip from Todd's mother's car that was originally his.
Next, we moved cars again, sifted through Todd's collection of tires and rims, and installed two Goodyear Ultra Grips on Todd's car.
THEN we tried to make heads-or-tails out of all those tires laying around the place... some junk, some good, some on rims, some not.
Lastly, back in my own driveway, I managed for the first time to get all 4 center caps on my wheels all by myself! The key seems to be a rubber mallet and no fear of denting them.
