But they are very depressing. You thought you were done with winter and then BAM.

Here, we always get a storm really close to Easter; as soon as its done; here comes the summer tires!

I got a 2200km round trip to do this weekend; and cant risk putting my summers on; Pretty sure my winters will be burnt when I get back home.

This is what I hate about this season; either you take a chance by changing the rubbers too soon; or you end up burning your tires because you didnt change them. Its a lose-lose situation.

I usually take the risk of changing them too soon and adapt my driving if I get surprised by some snow; but this year with the pregnant girl on board; I wont take that chance.
