If this is place in the center, about 10inches or so away...

    RH and Winter Storage...

    just curious, is there a particular way in which to store our summer tires. Is it alright to lay the tires flat on the rim? And stack them on top of each other? Or should you stand them on tread and just rotate their position every couple of weeks....

    these winter treads were installed early this morning, and my experience so far has been nothing but positive. Wet, Snowy, slick roads were not a problem for these beasts. I did noticed however they tend to slip a little starting from a dead stop on dry pavement. However, this being my first...
