Installing snow tires
Guys - Tirerack are delivering my snow tires tonight. What's a decent place in Markham or North York where I can get these tires mounted? I know there's Steecase tires n' mags, but i'd prefer not to go ther due to the long line ups. Any other reliable place you guys can think of?

If the pavement is cleared of snow and ice and it's just wet, you'll be fine as long as you take it nice and easy. With the cold, your p-zeros are as hard as granite and won't have much adhesion...go slow and allow plenty of time to brake.

Installed the Pirelli's - 235/40/18 in the front and 295/35/18 in the rears - did it at EU Autoworks as recommended above. fantastic tires, great service from the guys at EU - i'm loving it.... i don't understand why more people don't drive these things in the winter!
