I remember as a kid my father doing the change over every fall to winter tires. Sure glade I don't have to deal with that.

Around here we used to do just that. Snow tires last a lot longer if they aren't driven in the summer. Now, getting 4 tire rims is so expensive I've stopped the practice myself, but my BFF1 and 2 still do.

Good tires are a necessity for safe winter driving.
