I realize all-seasons aren't as good as dedicated summer/winter sets,
but I have no place to store a second set of rims/tires at the moment.
The summer tires that I have are on their last legs and they howl
painfully, so they need to be replaced anyway. I live 2 miles away from
work, so if the weather is really bad during winter, I will just take
the bus to work - I do that half the time anyway.

Cheers,
Pete
