Hey y'all.
By reading that, you can imagine that I'm not familiar with snow in general. I'm from the south and life shuts down when it snowed down there.
I just recently moved to the Pacific Northwest. Before leaving the southeast, I bought my first Subaru Forester and I love this car. It's a 1999 model and I'd like to get your opinions on snow tires, normal tires and how you folks handle this whole process.
My everyday tires are reaching the end of their life and I'm on the search for a good new set. My job keeps me in the woods and along rocky, muddy, forest service roads on a very regular basis, so please consider this when you make suggestions. I would love to hear your suggestions on the types and brands of tires you recommend for this type of everyday use.
Do you have a preference on types or brands of snow tires? I'm assuming I will need to change these out when the season is over. What is your process like with this? Do you let garage/shop store your tires and they switch them out every year or do you buy a second set of rims and do this yourself? Do you use chains and what are your thoughts on chains with or without snow tires.
Thanks you for your time. Any and all of your thoughts are greatly appreciated.
Charlie
