New Nordfrost 5's installed on the front - had them on the rear from last year already.
Can't wait to get into some deep snow with them :D

If we are lucky it will only be -28 C. They are predicting the temps to drop starting tonight. We almost never get below -40C (-40F) with wind chills, unless you are at the airport. They get much colder than in the city where -40 + C has been reached.
Nope ... windchill is extra. I hope we don't get much of that. Usually we don't get that much as far as wind compared to the southern part of the province. From Wikipedia: The lowest temperature ever recorded at City Centre Airport (Downtown Edmonton) was −40.6 °C (−41.1 °F) on January 26, 1972. While the The Edmonton International Airport saw a record low of -46.1 C (-51F) and -58.4 C (-73 F) with the windchill, outfreezing even the Arctic. This was recorded in 2009. I am just happy I don't work there .. as I know the ramp agents there regularly freeze their butts off. Last edited by edmscan; 12-21-2012 at 11:48 PM. |

I don't even plug my car in until we near -30C (-22F) , so maybe Christmas Eve Eve night I will plug my car in just in case. Family get together on Christmas Eve.
FYI .. I use the following website for my temp conversions, so I know it is accurate. http://www.calculateme.com/cTemperature/index.htm I also use this same site for my MPG conversions for those that use US MPG, compared to L/100 KM on my ScanGauge. Last edited by edmscan; 12-21-2012 at 11:41 PM. |

Nice tires . Can't use studs . Leave the paved driveway marred . Did use the Cooper Weather Master ST-2s' with studs before getting the drive done . Miss the studs on ice . Could get over 38 m.p.g. with the ST-2s' . Few years ago I pulled all the studs out of all 4 of the ST-2s' with pliers and a small flat screwdriver . Took over 4 hours . They still did well in the snow for 1 season .

The snow finally stopped. The Corolla felt like driving a tank with all the snow on it. Last edited by jayeh; 12-23-2012 at 07:14 PM. |

Here is the snow we have today here in Edmonton. Sorry it is not a Yaris .. but thought this would get the point across.

Done. It annoys me that imgur will recompress but not resize automatically.

Here are mine....Firestone WinterForce in a 185/60/15, mounted on 2 stock steelies. Less than 100 miles on them and are in new condition. $250 invested....and I'm letting them go for a mere $100. *Shamless sales plug over*

Finally just swapped mine over, as we are supposed to see some snow on xmas day. I am running Viking Snow Techs (made by Continental).
Snows.jpg And, for real snow, Crashy runs Maxxis Bighorns. If they didn't rub without Crashy's liftkit, they would be a hoot to run on the road on one of the other two Yaris. Snows - Crashy.jpg

Those Bighorns look like a larger version of the tires on the snowblower .
