It's hard to keep em clean this time of year.

 

If it was a normal February and below freezing, it would be so easy but mother nature hates me

 

We've been having single digit temps and wind chills well below 0. We get just enough snow every couple days to keep things messy.

 

We're on pace for record # of days over 80 in February here

 

dude its set a record for the highest temps here every day this year.

 

So warm and dry here (hardly any snow left) I actually put my truck in 2wd today!

New tires showed up, its going to take A LOT of self restraint to keep from putting them on. I know i should keep the snow tires on since we still have months worth of possible snow.




Ran it through the carwash on the way back to work, sat in a line of 3-4 cars deep, 8 bays. when it gets so nasty here, once it cools down again everyone rushes to the carwash.




Tonight when i got home, it stayed mostly clean on my way home.

 

Well, i got my new tires installed, HAD to put them on. Oh man i'm in love with the look!!

 

I'm in love all over again with this beauty!

 

Looks great!

 

so much better with those wheels.

I know! But i def put them on way too soon. I'll be driving my Excursion the rest of this week as we are supposed to be getting a mix of freezing rain, snow, rain making for slick conditions in the mornings.


A friend of mine caught me in traffic today on my way back to work from lunch.

 

Those wheels rock.

 

your "summer" wheels are my "winter" wheels (actually, all year round wheels because i don't want to mess with TPMS sensors) i've got cooper ATP's, but the tread is pretty similar.

i wouldn't worry about traction, though, i'd understand not wanting to get your limited wheels all salted up.

 

No concern about salt since we don't use it, just don't want to get them caked with the nasty brown road grime.

Traction is an issue, on Saturday night i had to drive it through some very thick ice fog that had caused the roads to ice up and it was a little nerve racking...i'll take my dedicated snow tires for slick conditions.

 

Well, i had a very early day today. Airport at 5am and down town breakfast at 7am..nice and foggy.
