What are "winter tires"? BTW, what is "winter"?
We only have "spring" and "summer", and our "summer" hasn't ended yet. It is 86 degrees today here in my city:

Putting on the winter rubber
Looks kind of quiet in the Canadian forum so thought I'd say hi to everyone. I found GM-Volt a few weeks ago and been having a good time reading stories going back at least 3-4 years.
Has for me, I just bought a 2nd Gen Volt a month ago and am just getting around to putting on the new winter rubber.
Here's a tip that might help people not crush their pinch welds. Many years ago I bought this jack cup saddle for my GF's Subaru. It's not deep enough for the Volt so I modified it. A second benefit is to push the back half of the saddle (left in the pic) well under the pad.

Let me know if you give a try and it works for you.
