| Fall / Winter 2012/13 - when are your snow tires going on?
Well...been quite mild in the city although in the wee hours of the morning we are averaging 6 degrees. But once the afternoon hits, we are back above 15 degrees.
So for the city dwellers, and from what we can see in this unusually warm weather...when do you anticipate that you're gonna need to slap on them snow tires?
Most install them around mid to late Oct...but based on current weather pattern, I'm thinking we might be able to stretch into mid to late Nov.
Washed up the blizzaks...  |

Last winter I only put about 5000km on my winter tires 
I'm just waiting on the big snow dump.
Until then I'll be riding on my Continental DWS tires.

Once the weather is consistently at a high of 6 degrees, the winters pop on.
However, they may pop on earlier if needed going up to Whistler!

Since I traded cars, I'm riding on the all seasons that came with the stock rims, too cheap to just replace them until they're worn out. Once they're bald going to grab some winters

When the mountains start sending out opening dates I'll decide. A week before whistlers opening day is usually my plan.

i used to put winters on around the end of october.
now that I am not running summer / winters, but all season / winters, I figure it'll buy me another week or two.

Not planning to do much boarding this year, wish I had gotten the Continental DWS instead of Nitto Motivo. I would've sold my set of spare rims, but now I'll switch to winters mid-November.

Just picked up a set of Gislaved winter tires through work. They're a subsidiary of Continental, and I hear the ones I bought are a good tire. I'll be doing mine Tuesday even if the weather is still a bit warm, if I don't do them now, work might get too insane for me to mount my own tires.

Picked up my Hankook winters last week. The mornings are a little cold for my liking to run on summers, but my Bridgestones aren't slipping yet so I'll hold it off. Probably when the mountains open I'll throw them on.
My snow wheels look better than my stock ones so I'm a little eager.
