I've had good service from my regular tires before, during and after hurricanes for well over 50 yrs. Wilton

You posted to a thread in which people were comparing notes on snow tires -- seeking information to safely navigate the icy hazards of the upcoming winter -- to gloat about living in the Sun Belt. That's my read, anyway. My grandparents moved to the Finland of Florida, Lake Worth, in the early 1950s. I remember visiting as a kid -- you could literally hear people speaking Finnish on the street. My mom and dad -- along with several other retired relatives -- wintered in Lake Worth for many years too. Their house got hit just once, when they lost about half their roof. They rebuilt but eventually left when my mother got ill, disillusioned with Florida's health-care system. She came back up north to die. I'm sorry to hear about the hassles you're having with your SD, Bill. Hope it all works out . Russ Maki

For some reason [and I really wasn't that good as a child] in all the hurricanes of the past 12 year in South Florida the worst I had was that the lights flickered three times. We were more than lucky. Kids had no power for 5 days - friends had none for 2 weeks - twice. I had to fill up 4 trash cans with small branches and leaves, and FEMA took out the two larger branches that broke off. Tires did just fine ... Anyone want to take me to Vegas?
