once in a while, when I have to do some major grocery shopping, I'll head out that way. work out at fitness world, hit the super store, then T&T, and even a third stop at safeway sometimes. 
so wanna trade rims?

no, I haven't changed my rims since you saw it last
I do like my rims. I just like yours better.
as for tires, it depends on how you drive and how much you want to spend. a good all season tire starts around $100 each and can get up to the $250 range for some high performance all season tires.

If you work at Nagano, then you probably know a friend of mine. I've only been there once. Small little restaurant right across from Blessings, right?
I've lived in Coquitlam for all my life. Still here. In needin' of a good Subbie... or the means to get it :P
BTW, I've used Michelin all season tires for winters. As long as you don't hit ice, and as long as you don't drive stupid fast...they work fine.

I gradded 2 years before Albert. First class to complete Pinetree in 4 years 
Across from Zellers? Yeah I know that place. Blessings is the Christian bookstore that's on the other side of Nagano (inside that mini mall that Nagano is located).
I think I actually spotted your Impreza a few months back. It was silver and "not stock" and lady-driven. Was that you? And what model year is your car?
The Michelins for me work well because I drive an old old and light car. And I'm a slow driver. And this car is powerless. For an Impreza, you may want something better.

so where is a good place to get some good all season tires around here? i dont even mind if they are used. i just need something to put on the car so that it can be driven in the snow? the stock tires wont do for these winter months.
will a high performance all season be good enough for our winter?

If you go snows, you'll probably want an extra set of 15" or 16" rims. Go see bender at OK Tire on Marine. Actually when the stock RE-92's are brand new, they do fairly good on dry snow, like driving up to Whistler even, but of course they're no where near that of a real winter tire. For Vancouver winters, all-season should be fine.
