Rant about Winter Tires & Rims!

First of all, damn you Quebec for passing the winter tire regulation!

Confused yet?

Well, we have been on a mission to get winter tires for my car. So far the mission has been unsuccessful and full of setbacks. Part of this is because Qubec passed a law saying that people have to have winter tires now. So to begin with, tires are in extra demand this year. Then add the fact that my tires are not the most common tires.

So, we finally track some down but they are on order but they are reserved for us. Then Friday I get a call saying that they have been discontinued! So, we have to start all over again. So, we finally find a place that has them but they are a more expensive set but beggers can't be choosers... The only cath is that they don't carry rims. So begins the search for the winter rims. After driving store to store on Sunday & being told they are out of stock we go home empty handed. So we hav till tomorrow at 2pm to get rims or else I can only buy my tires but not have them installed. :( Hopefully the other half tracks some down today.
