Winter Tires
I live in Ottawa, where there can be a lot of snow, so I thought I'd buy snow tires -- for the first time. I've always had an MT, so I only was stuck once, and that was on ice on a hill in a Tercel.
I did get the snow tires -- Toyo GO2's as recommended by Honda through my dealer. They also said that for the Sport Fit, I should drop down to 14", so I did. They also recommend for Ottawa to change tires 01 Nov and 01 April.
Total, with storage of the all seasons, came to $800 Cdn.
I already felt more secure in the Fit (compared to the junky Sportage I had before), and now the snow tires make me feel even better.
I also picked up better floor mats, they actually say "Fit" on them and there isn't any more giant tumbleweeds of fuzzosity. The dealer sold me a set for $80 Cdn, compared to others for the Fit that he had at $120.
I've already been rewarded for my efforts by a nice little snow squall yesterday.
