When are you guys throwing on the winter tires?

- I heard deadmonton is calling for a possible 10cm tonight.

I need to buy some new winter tires, not looking forward to removing my ecstas :(

[QuasarCav]

Jan 1st.

[jdmakkord]

when the snow falls and stays

[max_boost]

I usually have them on in late October......

[1badPT]

First good chance of snow - my summer tires are practically slicks - my car would simply be a 3300 pound sled in the snow with these tires :(

[JAYMEZ]

Mine are slick as hell too, kinda fun though hehe .

Umm i think October

[awd]

I am thinking October too, sucks though, I am enjoying the 225s, going back to the pizza cutters will suck.

Although, I am looking forward to empty parking lots covered in ice.

[ZorroAMG]

mid november.

[Zero102]

My summers are fairly bald, so usually when I see more than 1 day of snow in the forecast. Sometime in october hopefully.

[RedBull]

As soon as the first gravel is spread on the roads off come the 19's and on go the 18's with Pirelli Wintersports :)

[energie23]

usually sometime in October for me

[Moe Man]

since i work at kal tire i will swap them out right when it snows :thumbsup:

[Weapon_R]

December 1st

[djfob]

I might not even take my summers off since some have predicted a dry winter. Who knows this is Calgary plus I get better gas mileage and less wheel spin with my winters anyways.

[Idratherbsidewayz]

I went through my back two winter's in just one season. So now I have to buy two new ones. Does anyone think mytires or tirecraft can get a decent deal on some michelin arctic alpin's?

[Rockski]

mid october for the lada, before haloween for sure cause theres always snow on haloween

[GTS Jeff]

i just bought a set of kumho 712s. theyll be on within a week if all goes well! bald azenis dont work right on snow and in sub zero temps!

[JustinL]

Jeff,

Those 712s are brutal in any kind of snow or cold. Definitely get something different before the snow stays.

[illeagle]

when the gravel hits... man, going back to the 13's is gonna hurt.. Then i jack up the coilsover's to 4x4, add 4 huge fog lights, and big red mudflaps.. (j/k)

[Ben]

I generally go mid november.

Word. I had those on my GTI...the rubber is SOOOO hard. I couldn't get up my driveway and they had lots of tread.

[FiveFreshFish]

Remembrance Day weekend.

[Altezza]

First or second week of November..

[Redlyne_mr2]

[DreammEr]

Yea, thats my worry, I am rolling on brand new 712s that are supposedly death on rubber in the snow.

[JustinL]

My friend in his WRX was laughing his ass off at me when I got stuck in a cm of snow a couple years ago. 712s are an average tire at the best of times. I'm waiting to burn these off so I can get something better, but the rubber is so friggin hard they don't wear.

[max_boost]

Anyone buying new winter tires?

Group buy?

I am buyiing new winters and yea, I would definitely be interested in a group buy.

[max_boost]

Well those of you who are interested in a group buy, even if we get different sizes (which is more than likely), I'm sure the sponsors would be willing to give us a break on mount/balance or something along those lines.:thumbsup:

Agreed, maybe we should start another "group buy" thread...

[BeyondKool]

Yeah I want a group of 4 tires

[Mr_John]

winter tires come on 2-3weeks after the first leaf from my tree falls off

[BeyondKool]

What kind of tree do you have?

[That.Guy.S30]

depending on what tires, im in on the group buy

[Boostn]

Plan on installing the all seasons in mid October, definitely before Halloween.

[statick]

mine will go on after the first light snow fall or late october/early november, whichever comes first.

[h22aseller]

when it looks as though there is gonna be snow on the ground for up to a week. so that means, snow in the forcast for one day, and sub-zero temps for the rest of the week

[awd]

:D

Looks like that went tits up, my bad for not asking permission - had no idea.

Looks like I will take this over to nasioc.com where they are group buy friendly.

[Moe Man]
