What did you do for your ZHP/ BMW / MINI today? #2

[Newjack]

Swapped my ZHP to winter tires last night, not that I plan on driving it on the salty crappy roads now that I have the touring. Discovered the inside parts of two of the tires are bald... ugh. Don't want to buy another set of winters, but also don't want to buy no-seasons. Summers aren't ideal in the winter. Decisions...

Drive it on those balding tires

If you're not going to drive it in the winter, then why are you worried?

Or are you saying you won't drive it in the snow, but on those occasional sunny 50F days in winter?

I will definitely drive it on dry days, regardless of temperature, as long as there isn't any salt on the ground.

Mine is currently in a storage unit NOT on a trickle charger so I have to go start it maybe once a week and roll it around. But I will definitely be doing this exact same thing so long as there is no salt on the road

Sounds like somebody needs some all seasonzzz

Meh... as much as it pains me to say it, this is the single situation where all seasons makes sense. Unfortunately...

... the touring had a flat this morning that could not be inflated. That makes 2 out of the 4 Style 5's inoperable (one has a bend, won't hold air). The (2) Style 32's on the back are actually dangerous to drive on as they are extremely old, extremely bald on the inside, and have cracks/cuts deep enough to see the belt on the inside. The ZHP has worn out winter tires... and guess which car I had to take today, THE day it's going to snow with salt on the ground?

Sounds like you need a third beater

Nice! Do you thinks it's just the shining through the hood grill that turns the clip white?

Yup. The middle one under the grille gets cooked, but the two on the sides stay dark. I just grabbed the side ones off a car when I was at the junkyard the other day.
