Winter

Dude, get the best snows you can afford - Nokians, Gislaveds, Michelins, Pirellis, whatever.
Then maybe you can take that boat anchor out of the trunk and save a little gas.
I just carried 60LBs of tile in my trunk today and the nose felt really light.

Thanks for the reminder, I had Vredesteins 20yrs ago and forgot how good they are. I don't know if anyone sells them in western Canada anymore though.
