I'll probably swap mid October or once we're into consistently cold weather. It'll always be a week too late though

PSS's were slick for the first few blocks as well. Below 10 C they just drop off the map in terms of grip. At least laterally. Took the car of dynamic traction and it settled right in.

You don't know drop off of grip until you use Hankook RS-3...

My IS has Potenza S-04's on it, I swapped a set of Michelin X-Ice on last night. Realistically the car only gets driven about 6km a day, so it shouldn't make much of a difference and I still have a truck that will get its studded tires swapped on when the snow really starts coming down.

I'm thinking of swapping on the tires.. not because I think it'll snow, but because I want to clean up my garage... it's probably cool enough on average now... looking at the weather trends we're not often getting up into the 20's.

Mornings are close to 0 and I had bald all seasons on my Pathfinder. .. On top of that I drove over a nail, called Stadium was in the next day to mount my winters, the guys even took off my plastidip for me no charge. ... I remember someone posting bad reviews about Stadium but Ive never had a problem with them, didn't even pressure me for new tpms sensors. ..

Swapped my Blizzaks onto the truck today. Have to say thumbs up to the guy at CT that gave me free tire bags to put my 20's into so I could store them in the rack on the side of the house. I forgot how heavy they were too. Humping those bastards out of the garage and then hefting them up into the rack was hard work! But, cleaned, bagged, vacu-sealed and racked for the winter.

I've had winter tires on since end of August on the Civic when one fcker stole one of our summer rims

I should have done the WRX during the weekend but was too lazy, will have to do it next weekend

[Canmorite]

Still rocking the Nitto NT-01's that are very worn. After this weekend will probably swap them out, it's been a good run!

[avishal26]

getting mine done right now at UrbanX! Both vehicles getting their winter shoes today

[Dumbass17]

I've had my winters on for about 1.5 weeks now.
I know as soon as it snows, all the shops will be flooded with people in a mad rush

[Hallowed_point]

Blizzacs are on my deck on rims ready to rock..ordering some factory splash guards for the ol' pony as we speak

Heated parkade and jack stands ftw!

^ Do you get more road noise with your Blizzaks? Just drove the SUV and I think I hear more noise but am wondering if it is because of the slightly bigger knobs on the tires?? I know Blizzak's winter performance is awesome but hopefully they are not loud

The tires that came off the SUV are all-season Michelins from factory

I've got about 70% left on my firehawks GT's.

Got caught a bit off guard opening up WOT in second this morning on the way to work, car got sideways pretty damn quick even with M button off and all traction aids helping. Tires are defs feeling the drop in temp.

I'm not too sure yet..first time I've used them. Tired of studded winters during chinooks (road noise) so I sprung for some higher end non-studded. I'll post an update though.

Necro-bump!

It's my thread so it's all cool right? Wife's winters went on today which oddly is one day later in the year compared to when I started this thread five years ago.

Jokes on me, I am going to order my golf wheels/tires this weekend but never sold my acura so those winter wheels are going on tonight

[ExtraSlow]

Ground is so warm it'll be slush. Need your rain tyres.

[Thaco]

studded tires on now so people can hear you coming form a mile away!

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
