When I was in highschool we used to go to large parking lots at night, one night it was snowing and I suggested that we go to a parking lot...and the bf was like "yeah, let's go do donuts!" I was like "Nah, just take me home."
I shoulda known then it wasn't gonna work

Too cute for words
Ahem... Graveyards are for the other. Cops don't come in to graveyards.
So apparently one can't trust the internet...I checked my tires today and they're actually P205/55 R16
Anywhoo, dealership will install BFGoodwrench for $129/tire + $94/rim (GM rims) or Uniroyal for $119/tire + $94/rim (GM)...thing is they'll also store whatever tires I'm not using for me and change back and forth for me every year for aslong as I own the car or until the tires wear out (whichever comes first) for free and I get 5% off cause it's where I bought my car.
Sounds pretty sweet no?
So, after reading some reviews on both tires I'm going with the BFGoodwrench because they received better reviews by people who actually seem competant...unlike the Uniroyals which got a lower score and the few good comments I read were written by idiots...one guy raved on and on about how good the uniroyals were and then ended with "I'll definately buy another set next winter" ummmm last I checked tires should last more than 4-6 months
If that wasn't bad enough...I then read a review by a guy in sudbury who said how he put them on for all four tires on his car (ok, always a good idea) and then went on to say how they allowed him to pull his snowmobile trailer on an unplowed road in his ONE wheel drive car!
Yup, BFGoodwrench it is. $975 after taxes.

BFGoodwrench??
I've only heard of BFGoodrich
Yeah I'm confused...the service centre is "GMGoodwrench" and the tires are "BFGoodrich"

Maybe I should get the Uniroyals, apparently my intelligence is on par with the guys who reviewed them
Nah I was just joking about getting uniroyals...it was just a comment on my stupidity by comparing myself to the guy who said he had a one wheeldrive car...I'm going BFgoodrich

You're getting hosed on the rims, for starters. And if you're buying rims, why are you bothering to have the tires stored at the shop? The whole point of buying a second set of rims is to do the swap yourself and save the $40 twice a year. If you're gonna pay them to swap the tires twice a year (rotating tires is usually about $20 a set), you'd be ahead of the game to leave off buying rims and just have them install the rubber on your existing. That way, you get them balanced frequently (saves wear) and replace the valve (the most common leak on swapped rims).
They are swapping them for FREE each and every year aslong as I own both the winter tires and the car. DO learn to read

Go back and read what I posted again, clever clogs. Starting from the word "if", it's a generic statement.They are swapping them for FREE each and every year aslong as I own both the winter tires and the car. DO learn to read
And if I ever hear that you've gone to CT for anything, I'll disown you outright. But besides that, you can still do much better for tires.
