Snow tires?
Edit:
OK, usually you get the sales at the end of each season when they need the space to stock for the next season and are trying to dump left over inventory.
It means you usually see winter gear clearance sales about Jan or Feb here. Summer stuff usually gets remaindered in august just before school season or in Sept just before hunting season.
It also means stores that stock aisles for hunting season are trying to get them empty before they restock their Xmas stuff.
