    When are you guys tossing on your winters? And what's the recommendation for this year in terms of winter tires?

    I'm still using the Blizzak's DM-V1's on for the SUV and Michelin x-ice (I think it's the x-ice...)for the Mini.

    Was thinking of toss the winters on this weekend, but next week doesn't look bad at all....so may wait.

    Also looking for a set of winters for my sons car. What recommendations this year?

    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.

    Going to be throwing on the winters this weekend, wife won't stop bothering me today because she doesn't want to drive in the snow with summer tires.

    I decided to put them on this morning. My summer tires are absolutely useless in cold/wet, let alone freezing and slush, so I figured I'd just get it over with.

    I'm going to suck it up one more season on my WS70's. I just don't know what replacement vehicle I'm going to have in the spring so I'd rather wait to be sure.


    I actually told my husband at the start of the month I wanted my winters put on this weekend. They have to go eventually, may as well do it sooner rather than later.

    I always wait close to Halloween but looks like I need them on right now. So probably tonight.

    Watch the weather go hot after I put them on.

    Still have them on from last season for the 328. It's close to lease return and I didn't want to risk blowing the run flats so milking the winters to the last bit

    I'll probably get it all done last week of the month.
