This is the way

Agreed re: just drive slower and leave plenty of space.

I didn’t have snow tires on the front range of Colorado (awd car) and did fine. You definitely don’t need them here.

Snow removal is usually an issue covered in the lease. If there is nothing stated I do not believe that the property manager has any obligation.

This could be different city to city state to state.

Check over your lease, and see if snow removal is in there.

Interesting. The dealer provided me with a very official "State of Connecticut Department of Motor Vehicles Vehicle Inspection form", so I assumed that it had passed a state inspection.

I guess if it is just self-reported they can get away with being less stringent than the inspectors in RI.

Town Fair, Taunton Ave., East Providence…no wait, ghost town compared to Seekonk. App very helpful for booking appointments too. Go for the full warranty. RI potholes. Replacement tire was $67 dollars.

They’re made in Mexico, so my answer still works. 😎

Rhyda tire in Warwick

We're not "sending" it, they're BUYING IT. Like every commodity, the highest bidder gets it. They paid more than local companies were willing to pay. It's capitalism

No tires at Job Lot though

> Snow tires are much safer. Not everyone can afford them.

I think you're overselling them; I don't think snow tires in RI are so necessary that anyone who can afford them should have them. We don't have particularly extreme winters, nor any elevation to speak of. Besides that, unless OP is a first responder or something, simply not driving when weather is bad is the way to go. Even then, just driving like a sane person is fine. All seasons will get you where you're going, just a bit slower.

> Welcome to winter. Real winter.

This is clearly subjective, but I don't consider us to have "real winters". In my personal definition, "real winter" includes constant snow cover the whole season, and late January temperatures below 40, unlike us...

Just buy all the bread and milk and you’ll be fine.

Yes for Absolute Auto Glass!

Stay away from Safelite and Payless Auto Glass, they've both fucked stuff up and refused to even entertain the idea of taking responsibility for fixing it.

Payless used their reciprocating saw scraper tool and melted the interior window trim on my wife's car and wouldn't even let her finish explaining what happened, let alone fix their mistake.

Safelite lost the trim on my car, and just haphazardly gobbed in more sealant. I leaks.

Also, be careful of those companies masquerading under different names. I ended up with Payless after calling the phone number for the legit local glass shop I had used in the past. Payless evidently bought the number and hid their company name until the Payless van showed up in our driveway.

I'd call the dealer for your brand of car and ask who they use for glass.

Now they can go to where bennys used to be: ocean stage job lot

It's mandatory coverage in CT, which was nice.

My insurance company is paying for Satellite to replace my windshield on Thursday. No cost for me.

So far they have the same guys running the local shops - as long as they don't lose the people I think it'll be fine - they've always been fair about pretty much everything (not just tires).

Get a friend to bring you to a parking lot to drive in, before you try the highway... You have to get used to steering out of the slide, and how your abs feel...

If it’s offered (and it should be) still have to check the option box. It costs almost nothing to add to insurance (Amica) but I left it off thinking it wouldn’t be a thing and save some money then I got stuck with a $450 bill for a replacement when that would’ve cost like $5.80 a month on top of my premium.

I suggest after this incident calling your insurer and asking about adding the coverage.

Odds are you might owe some state taxes or you didn't file your past taxes.

Mine still covers it

My USAA coverage has windshields included. That being said, I used “Affordable Auto Glass” and their charge was less than my deductible. He came right to my house and replaced it in my driveway.
