Default help and referral on smoke test and tires

could someone tell me the best place to learn how to do a smoke test for the leaks ? i have a smoker, but on what i have seen you have to be able to manually shut the vent valve in order to do it right and i dont know how to do that without the fancy tools. could someone point me to some help. thanks so much.

also i bought the car with snow tires. can someone give me their opinion on what tires work best for this car as far as the ride and handling? thanks!

If performance is your top priority look into High Performance Summer Tires. If you value comfort and ability to drive in all weather conditions, look at Ultra High Performance All Season Tires.
