Wax doesn't lat very long especially in winter Go for sealant if u really want protection.

I usually put my winters on in the first week of December. I've not run into snow or ice or particularly slippery conditions before then.

I'm putting them on first week of november. I noticed the rear end being a little twitchy in the mornings.

I just picked up a set of used winter tires with steelies not too long ago. I'm selling this set of right after winter because I'm switching cars next year. I'm wondering if I should get them re-balanced or don't even bother with it since I'm only using them for one winter.

Just put mine on last night. Don't wanna run my summer tires in this kinda weather any longer.

put them on today since the forcast shows rain for the next 2 weeks.

man what a difference it makes. no hydroplaining at all driving home today on the hwy.

as long as you make sure you spray off salt residue from the roads you should be ok....

yeah, i loved using my winter tires in the rain last season! sooo much better.

^

cuz they have deeper treads

Are you serious? You put your winters on already? I admire you dedication, but seriously...

Anyone? Is it worth it for one winter?

Thanks in advance

If they're already balanced just throw em on. If they wobble they get them balanced. Bingo Bango I solved your problem.

Do you plan on driving long distances? For me I would do it for the $10/tire that Speed Syndicate charges.

I was out driving today and I noticed my car being a little twitchy... being on summers, the heavy rain and the temperature nearing 9c, I'm not surprised.

Time is soon!

There was one year I bought a 90's Land Rover Discovery for $5k and sold it in the spring. In the end, it cost me nearly nothing. I was able to sell it for the same price I bought it for and I used it for 6 months.

lol.. that just reminded me of bingo bango bongo roberto luongo

haha..

anyways... get them done before the first day of snow cause shops are going to be super busy by then.

October is still early imo.

mine are on since my summers are bald. Its cold and rainy enough that the summers are starting to feel useless.

was planning on putting them on mid november, but a flat tire resulted in them being on as of yesterday

put your winters and trade me your oem steelies on your mismatched set! i want mine to be all oe! hahaha ;):p

you might as well put them on now if you are purcashing them this year due to the fact that shops will all be busy when all the last minute people decide to get tires on the first day it snows... if you have them stored.. it can wait..

^

ya once first snow fall hits all the shops will be fully booked up and tires will be on back order

too much work man lol. if i happen to have them all dismounted and sitting around... maybe. otherwise i'm just gonna sell it as a set.

Just put my winter sets on yesterday along with an oil change and I also deglazed the pads so now i'm ready for the winter snow that everyone's been predicting

snow falling on whister already

booo! :( lol

anyone else put theirs on?

It was 14 inside the parkade and on my way to work it slowly dropped down and eventually hitting below 3...
