In that scenario, I'd rock winters now absolutely. _________________________ http://dreamingin302ci.blogspot.ca/ XD XD XD XD

High Value Poster Post Master Supreme Registered: 02/20/01 Posts: 47668 Loc: T.O. - Canaduh	maybe a tad early but still can't hurt (unless like said above, you're on extreme summers, remove them), otherwise by dec. 1st would usually be the case. (prob won't have much snow until jan-feb as usual). _________________________ "Ban low performance drivers, not high performance cars"

furball furball Post Master Sr Registered: 09/24/03 Posts: 9484 Loc: Toronto, ON	Swapped over last weekend ... Also ended up getting 2 new Michelin X-Ice 3 (in the back) to go with my X-Ice 1's (in the front) ... Seems I have a really fucked up alignment issue with one of my wheels - inside on one of the winters was almost worn down flat FML ...

Senor Eduardo_82 Senor Eduardo_82 miataist Post Master Supreme Registered: 01/09/03 Posts: 38036 Loc: Ca�ada	It's probably the valve core, or maybe the whole stem. I had that problem two summers ago on the NSX.

titty sprinkles titty sprinkles Post Master Supreme Registered: 08/22/05 Posts: 17177 Loc: Toronto,Ontario	Possibly, rim looks mint tho, and I looked hard for cracks (woman manages to hit every pot hole) and the rim is straight. It has to be the valve. _________________________ 2019 TLX Aspec

LNXGUY LNXGUY Post Master Supreme Registered: 08/06/00 Posts: 106943 Loc: Barrie, Ont,	Impact gun is a good idea, but if you don't have a tank with enough throughput, it won't do shit. Also some guns require way more CFM then others. My Snap-On gun requires a big tank and 3/8th hose for it to break the hard shit loose, my Ingersoll Rand has no issues blasting shit off with my small 30gal upright. _________________________ -Bill The GN would OWN you, your children and your children's children.

SW20_MR2 SW20_MR2 Post Master Sr Registered: 08/27/01 Posts: 5282 Loc: Markham, Ontario, Canada	Just ordered some Nordfrost5 on steelies for the Odyssey. Damned TPMS sensors are over $300 for the set, and I have to pay $30 each time I swap wheels to have the TPMS reprogrammed. Anyone ever used the ATEQ programmer to do it yourself? I think I saw it on Amazon for $180 or something like that. _________________________ 1991 MR2 Turbo aka "The Myth"...does it really exist? 2006 Mazda3 Sport aka "Reality"...it really does exist...
