    Not all tires are made to the same standards though... Only tires I could get in the size I needed this year (old ones were back ordered) are pure garbage, I can light them up at half throttle in the dry, not really going to last long with our current weather

    I was thinking about swapping all out this weekend - mudders on the Taco, all seasons on the RX and summers on the Mini. If shit goes south, at least I have new all seasons on the RX.

    Yeah well I wonder how they get the soft flowing caramel inside the Caramilk bar but you don't see me making a god damn thread about it. Slap your wife Baygirl, straighten him out.

    Was just about to swap mine but it's calling for possible snow next week so I'll probably wait another week.

    If it snows I'll just drive the truck.

    Lows down to -6 and snow next week, still keeping my winters on to be safe.

    I think it's around 9C and below that winters are still beneficial.

    To those saying no regrets.... well obviously, it's been ridiculously warm for the majority of the recent past. The regret comes when we receive another inevitable snowfall.

    Yea just saw the 14 day outlook and it was cooler and wetter. No rush to stick on summers yet (I dont use all seasons, just UHP summer tires).
