Winter tires or All-season in vancouver?
I'm about to pull the trigger on winter tires for my f32, but friends/family keep telling me I'm wasting my money, as it rarely snows in the lower mainland, and temperatures don't really dip below 0 all that often.
I'm curious what everyone else who lives in Vancouver runs in the winter. |

I change to winter tires but I think they're ugly and have them on for as few months as possible.

So this would be just a separate set of tires from you summers? All-seasons are really 3 seasons and provide poorer performance in all seasons. If you are spending money on a second set, buy a set of performance winters and call it a day.
Summer tires lose performance at 7C and below not 0.

It depends on where you live but I have always preferred dedicated snows on separate wheels. But, I do definitely look for high performance snows versus studless because I want something that is good in the rain we get 99% of the time.

Does anybody know if any of the dealers here in Vancouver offer tire and wheel storage for the unused set? I am thinking specifically of Brian Jessel as that is closest to me.
