Son in law is going to nursing school, in Reno. Crash pad is in North Lake Tahoe, goes up from Sacramento area Tuesday morning, returns Friday evening. He has two commuter vehicles at his disposal, Summer and Winter.

Summer is a Civic Sedan, generic, bland, tires from Jan of this year.

Winter is 4WD Toyota truck, M+S rated tires are almost teenagers, "but they have plenty of tread"

I borrowed his truck.

Now he has some mountain with a snowflake in the middle tires from Cooper, because, upside down in the Truckee River is no way to spend a weekend. It was either that, or life insurance. This way was much easier. That tire guy is the best, Tim Haltom at Radial Tire on Cottage, always hooks me up with exactly what I am looking for. Gave him the skinny on the commute, "these Coopers are just the ticket." Sold

Son in law is a paramedic, all OCD about the car seats and fire extinguishers, does not get that tires are like milk, always have a use by date. Wife wants to know what I will say when he asks about the tires. "Same thing I told him last time we talked about the tires."

Ever have to make an executive decision like that?
