Where have all the best shops gone
I used to be a proper old school shopper. I used to look for the best shops, demand great service and a wide selection of products. I liked going out for shopping but then I found the world of online shopping. I know that it may sound a bit corny but I really love the fact that in online shopping world you have so much more selection and knowledge about the products than in a physical shop. One rare shopping experience that I have every now and then is when I go shopping for summer tires. This is something that has become really a fun journey for me. You can find so much information about summer tires and you have such a good selection of tires when you shop online. Read more at: http://www.newsalbum.com/Article/202...est-shops-gone |

Either they have a car with all-season tires or they drive an SUV or truck with huge tires! |

Either they have a car with all-season tires or they drive an SUV or truck with huge tires! When I lived in Vermont, I had snow tires for all the cars and had them mounted every year (I did have an extra set of wheels for one car). I didn't bother with my truck because it's an off-road model with 4WD (comes with fairly aggressive tires). |

The beaty of the internet is there is so much "information" on line - but finding the good stuff is "like sifting fly-**** from pepper" |

Either they have a car with all-season tires or they drive an SUV or truck with huge tires! Here in Ontario, a very LARGE number of drivers have returned to "purpose built" tires. The so-called all-season tire is really a no-season tire - or at best a 2 season tire. Pretty decent spring and fall tire - pretty poor winter tire, and sub-standard summer touring tire. With the all seasons on the Taurus it is understood that on a bad day it stays on the driveway and Mama stays in where it's warm. |
