    Watch the weather go hot after I put them on.
    Do you drive the 450 through winter at all? I'm thinking about getting replica 18's and slapping on a set of winter tires with them. I've never had any issues with all seasons in the past winter seasons, but apparently this is gonna be our worst winter yet

    Anyone wanna take a crack at finding me some commercial 22.5 drives?

    Our 2 usual shops say I can have steers or trailers in the size I need. Firestone (might have been bridgestone?) Stopped making drives in my size 2 years ago...

    I'd really rather not retreads but running out of options.

    Was not bad at all coming home on my stock conti summer tires, actually made it home faster than on a good summer day. They did slip everytime I hit slush though. Winters are going on as soon as I get the leak fixed.

    This exactly, put mine on this afternoon

    It appears I've been head in the sand, studded tires in the garage and had not even considered putting them on until I read about you tampon wearers. Spend a Saturday swapping in the winters? Yup.

    Studded Hankook Ipikes.



    I took them off in Feb last year, it was such a wimpy winter. This year I'll likely put them on November to march.

    I have duratracs so I don't really stress when it snows.

    Put my 3 season old WS70's on tonight, still had 7/32". Will likely replace them with something different next year and sell these for cheap.

    Took a test run late last night, no way am I putting on studded tires before the traditional first week in November. The current conditions are normal for us Canadians, we'll be at plus 15C next week.

    It's not 15C in the MORNING when I'm driving to work. Anything under 7, winters are better. Put mine on the frs Thurs. The SUV can wait a few weeks as it's got all seasons (trying to get a set from UrbanX but they are swamped).
    That's not sweat. It's your fat, crying.

    I did mine yesterday (Oct 8) in the morning and it looks like I chose a good day to do it!

    I think its more for non-siped summer tires that should only be on summer toys.

    Most of us on here have driven summer rated sports tires on cold pavement and its butt clinching terrifying.

    M+S tire, not so much, just gotta be smart and not bomb around the corner so you can get past the school zone before 7:30am.

    I did the switch today on the srt-10, carrying the 305/40/22's up a ladder to put on the tire storage rack for winter was way worse than the actual switch which took all of 20 minutes.

    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.
