Snow's Here — Check Your Tires
If the recent snowfall has your car slipping and sliding, here are local places where you can get new treads.
It took long enough — Johnston finally had a bit of snow accumulation this week, and the JohnstonPatch Weatherbug forecast is calling for another 4 to 6 inches today.
The long time between snowstorms — remember the Halloween weekend flurries? — may have left folks forgetting to check the tires on their cars.
Here's a quick list of local shops where you can get the treads checked out and replaced — once you've dug out, of course:
