Snowing pretty good here, yard and street have about an inch of slush/snow on them. i really need to get some weight for the back of my truck, these tires are great in snow but still need something to gain traction

I run 1200# of solid cement blocks all winter long, but it isn't going in yet

Stopped by my tire place on the way home today and they were packed. What's up with that?

Afternoon guys, my car needs tires too but I'm not putting any money into that car, especially leaving in two months, just not worth it for me.

No snow down here, a bit of freezing rain though!

The worst part about living on a steep hill is that they drop a ton of that green **** all over the place

They are not allowed to put down sand on state highways now right? Or a smaller amount cause of the environment, forget how it goes now.

Just checked my email, the same Dbag that mailed me about the factory alloys before, offering me $40 dollars, emailed me back again, offering $45. Wish I could pop him righ in his jaw haha. I am thinking if he mails me another low ball offer, I am going to say yes, then have him go meet me someplace far away, where I wont be, send him way off out of his way, waste his time.
