Since I just bought my car, I still have the stock summer tires on it. Im fine for now but I feel it still might snow before winter lets up. Does anyone have suggestions on where to buy snow tires?

Discount Tire is where I get all mine. I'm running high performance all-season tires and haven't got stuck yet.

I bought my Bridgestone LM-22s at Deerbrook Firestone in Deerfield. They gave me a really good deal, and they'll put on my summer tires in the spring for free. And the Bridgestone are great.

I have bought many tires from tirerack and their service is top notch. The last time I ordered tires they showed up the very next day at the garage that does my tires for me, which I also found through tirerack.

I don't think it's all the unusual. I thought most of us do.

Here are some pics from the night after the big snow last week. After a Jetta hit me, I went to my dad's shop to have him check it out. The gold muscle car is my 442. Don't worry Race, I won't be dethroning you as EVOLV photographer anytime soon.
