In another, quite large cultural learning, I havn't got winter tires for my car yet and I am kind of... well stuffed. Our driveway is on a small slope and I cant get out without the neighbours opening their garage door so I can get a run up... of course then I have to actualy get down the street with my balding summer tires. I have some hope however, if I can get my car out tomorrow I can get to the tire joint and get some winter ones fitted... again if only I had planned this some weeks ago though! Most people keep a second set of tires on smaller rims just for winter.. whereas I now have to get more expensive larger ones to fit my regular rims. Such if life in the north, thats why I love it
Of course, I still have to get the car out of the driveway... that can either happen by
a) getting snow chains
b) getting a tow
c) waiting till wednesday when warmer weather is expected
d) dismantling my car piece by piece and reassembling it on the street
anyone got any snow chains?
