They're also 3x the price I paid for the chains! I've also never had to use them and likely won't ever use them (fingers crossed!) They were an an end of season steal!

I'd rather leave it all in my car than in my way too small apartment! But we do regularly go places with absolutely no cell phone coverage so I figured I'd keep most of it there.

I had winter tires in Ottawa, but I haven't yet had to drive in snow yet this year. I think I may get all weather tires when my current set of all seasons wear out.
