what you running for winters up there?

i assume your tallking tires?

i have not put my snow tires on yet. waiting for the reason snow to hit..although studded tires have been legal for 10 days now.

on my expedition i run Firestone winterforce studded, but thinking of picking up a set of blizzaks this fall. i run cooper M+S studded on my excursion.

my summer tires on the left, snow tires on the right

If you guys can keep that stuff up there for another 3-4 months that would be good.
I don't need any down here. :crazy:

it was beaufitul today so we went topless. it was about 50F and sunny.

HaHa !!! Alaska sounds like Alberta. We have a saying... Don't like the weather? Wait a minute !!!

We were doing the same thing. Snow last week and then a few days later we are driving around with top off on the Jeep. Last time before we plop the hard top back on for the Winter.

Move to the west side of the state. They get more snow due to lake effect. Plus the beaches in Muskegon are beautiful for those summer time dips in lake Michigan! Man I miss home!
