What Grinds Your Gears? :)

Oh, this reminds me of a legit gear grind!

Okay, so in Japan, people have to change their tires twice a year. Tires for winter and tires for summer, which means you have to figure out where you're going to store your tires.

I'm from the US. I'm not used of having to buy tires and switching them out unless you get a flat or if the tires themselves just finally get old. I'm used of tires that are good for all seasons and weather types. Over here, nope. Summer tires and Winter tires.

Logically, though, seems it would make sense to use the winter tires all year because if they're supposed to be good for ice and sleet and snow, wouldn't they be good for summer rain, too? Mention that to someone here and they go crazy over the thought because it's like, "Well, you're supposed to do it, no questions asked."

So yeah, my gear grind would be shelling money out for four new tires and then paying to have them changed over.

In other news, though...the car company I have my car through is very nice and they're giving me some free tires. I only have to pay to have it changed. I now need to figure out what I'm going to do with the summer tires. I live on the second floor. I don't want to all them up the steps. -_-
