As for people not having them on yet, in mid-October the backlog for appointments was 4-5 weeks. More and more Calgarians are using winter tires, which means installation wait times are getting longer.

It’s been mentioned about a hundred times in this thread that the tire itself matters, and that not all all weathers or all winters are created equal.
