Rob, would you be upset if I said it was sunny and 8C here today? I went with the super lugs, simply because I want the trailer to keep the military look, and I want to be confident in the tires since I'm towing the trailer from here to Kingston in the summer. And believe it or not, my local tire guy managed to find two super lugs already in stock in Canada - in Winnipeg! And only $15 per tire to ship them here!
Lang - sorry no spares around here that I know of, but I'll keep my eyes open for you!

Not at all.....I would have expected at least that warm. We made it up to -4, but with a windchill that made it feel like -20. No big deal, we are used to it around here. I would like to come back with some witty response to all this, such as comparing the price of something that is reasonable here but outrageous there, but I can't think of anything that would possibly justify living in this armpit of Canada. So I'll just give up. Wait: I GOT IT: we don't have that many forest fires in this part of the country. Also, we don't hug trees around here, we cut them up into 20" long pieces and heat our houses and workshops with the pieces for 5 months of the year. Good to hear you found the tires at a reasonable price on this side of the border. I have seen a dealer from Montreal list the STA line of tires at about 4 times the price of the US.

I would rather a little rust and be able to work comfortably outside 365 days a year than skulk inside burning logs for 5 months of the year.
If it gets below +10 I burst into tears - you Canadians are a tough bunch! Lang

At plus ten we put on T shirts and go outside again. There may still be piles of snow hanging around the yard where it has been piled up over the winter.....I like to get the tractor and spread it out so it goes away. Not that it makes any difference. Usually winter comes back with a vengeance for one last blow. But we know that we will likely get a good 4 months of weather after that followed by another 2 months of iffy weather. Then it starts all over again.
Yes, I too would live with a little more rust and a little less arctic air. Don't paint all the Canadians as tough.....you guys from Southern Ontario (and the BC coast) know who I am talking about.
