Today, I went with my mother over to Finland to change my sisterstires. She had bought some, but they were in the wrong size. So we went ahead to change them. And we also bought new winter tires for my brother. So it was a good dealI guess. Well, anyway. My dad had to be home and work on the garage we're building, so it ended with me having to go on the road trip. It was okay. Kinda. These two last...
Just made an appointment to get 4 new tires tomorrow. I don't like spending money on tires. My brain TRIES to make it fun like it's shopping, but it's not fun. I can't wear it, send it to anyone nor do they come in colors (oh man they so should) . And it's a lot of money. But I'm getting WINTERtires (oooooo!) and that's cool but that makes them lots of $$$. And I've never had winter tires (gasp...
Bald rear tire on Cyclone Originally uploaded by popefelix . This is how bad Cyclone's rear tire has gotten. I don't think I should ride until I get this tire replaced. :)
As I can see the steel belt on Cyclone's rear tire. I took a picture, but I don't have the proper cable here to upload it. :) For a new set of tires, I'm looking at Continental RoadAttack ($118.95/$148.95 F/R), Pirelli Diablo ($110.95/$135.95), and Avon Storm ($112.95/$148.95) tires (all prices from http://swmototires.com/ ) so far. If we can't afford a whole new set of tires, I might look at a...
Quebec is about to do a very smart thing, and make WinterTires mandatory from November 15th to April 15th . Have no doubt, this is a very, very good thing. I saw 4x4's and AWD's last winter, stuck, because they were on crappy all-season, or even just worn summer-only tires, while I was zipping around in my FWD Acura on winter tires with almost no problem at all (and I never got stuck). It should...
First off, a Happy Birthday goes out to my dad. 20 years old with 31 years of experience, woot! Tires have been ordered and probably won't be in until Monday; he said maybe Saturday. Did anybody see who made the huge hole in my wallet??? It was a good $200 more than a set of tires for the Integra. Doh! Gotta pay to play I guess. =P Rain rain, go away, at least for a day or so. Need 1 last photoshoot...
140. On Grove, Turning Onto Bridge Rd. Another balmy October day; making the most of my summertires. Don't tell anyone I turn the steering wheel like that on occasion. I'm standing still or practically standing still, but that's no excuse. The Worst Driving I've Done Today. Going home on I-94, just after Telegraph Rd, I was looking at other traffic for a few seconds and completely missed...
139. On the driveway. Look at that tread depth! When I picked up my car from the Goodyear Service Center these brand new Dunlop tires still had their stickers on them. I wished I had my camera. Instead, I drove home, parked in the driveway, and took this picture. I am very excited about my tires. This is the first time in two-and-a-half years that I have a matching set of tires on the "S"...
... *rolleyes* And if he doesn't quit calling our house I'm gonna slug him. ESPECIALLY if it's another early morning call. I should just stop watching the stupid anchorage news. I'm in a bad mood because I have to get up at the buttcrack of dawn to get my tires changed over tomorrow. And it's not even by appointment, so I'll be in line getting them changed out. I'm not happy about it AT ALL.
