Why get an alignment if it hasn't been done in a while? If a suspension component has worn out enough to affect the alignment then it should be replaced, then get the alignment.

Because they have money to waste. Come on they are putting snow tires on all wheel drive vehicles.

Oh yeah make sure you get the rear wheels aligned while you are at it. :daffy:

Because that AWD helps soooo much outside of not getting stuck.

I'd rather have my old FWD car in snow than my current AWD car.

Excuse me but what else are you looking for other than not getting stuck.

The tire center at a BJ's Wholesale gets $16.00 (member price) for a tire rotation or swapping on pre-mounted snow tires.

I guess I just slow down when the roads get slick. :-o
So do I. Slick just happens a lot less.

Plus snows only cost me the cost of the wheels. I'm putting miles on tires anyways, might as well have the right ones for the conditions. Tires are by far the most significant safety feature on the car. Good tires ensure I can stop faster than the guy in front of me and make conditions surprise me a lot less.

I will disagree with you. The most significant safety feature on a vehicle is the person holding the steering wheel. If you feel more comfortable with snows I say have at it. For me I consider them a waste of money.

You sound like those guys who refuse to sharpen the edges on their skis. I grew up Maine driving around in the snow on bald tires. Just because I can do it doesn't make it cool. I'd rather add as much safety as I can especially since I've got 2 little kids to look out for.

So have fun on your smug bald tires.

A person is not on a car.

Is it possible for you to get any more arrogant? You don't think they're worth it, fine. We're not the ones calling people that don't agree with us idiots.

You didn't use the word, but the statement was pretty clear. You're smart, we're all dumb.

A dick tool? Is that something I put on my tires to get better traction so when I go to maine with my two kids they are safer?

:x

This was a thread to get some advice on fitting snow tires. You are the one who came wading into the conversation preaching the coolness of not having snow tires. So either you are trolling or unaware of your smugness. Either way it makes you a tool. So please take this part of the conversation to your own thread: http://forums.alpinezone.com/showthread.php?p=489384#post489384
