cheaper on winters | I got the set used. It was a bonus to be able to retain the stock look.

besides, when it gets to be that time, it could snow a shit-ton all of a sudden and then you'd suddenly be stranded.

So I conclude from that that I had more grip before the swap even in the cold.
However, Azenis are scary as hell in the snow (or hail), so I'll swap mid December at the latest.

The Project car goes into the garage for winter work this weekend. Time to revive my winter beater.
It is bitter sweet to park the beast - sucks to not drive it, but it's exciting to start making it better for next year!
