[Mephology]

[hk20000]

Will have to do that soon for me....

[AzNightmare]

Not sure will it be that bad this year... hope not.

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

[kayceeee]

LOL which reminds me, I need some winter tires!:p

Lol me tooo

[orange7]

Never! I just don't drive during Winter,.

[GabAlmighty]

Gotta make a jy run for some steelies first. Unless anyone has steelies in 5x108 haha

[jlenko]

This is just a quick cold snap... or so "they" say...

I'll probably wait til mid-November like last year.

[k20a]

No money for steelies or snow tires, I'm gonna have to figure an alternative way of getting to work in Surrey. maybe start taking public transit? hahaha

[Chicken Balls]

i'll be puttin mine one at the end of hte month

[skyxx]

I put mines on mid December last year :lol

[MWR34]

I dont have steelies, I just swap Cars.

[skyxx]

^ Now that's Ballin! :lol

[DasHooch]

I wait until snow is sticking. My summer tires are 235 vs 195 winter, so it only makes sense when the snow is out because that's the only case where they don't grip as well.

If this winter is anything like last winter, I'm also going to adjust the coil overs for as many inches as I can get. I might remove the lower tie bar as well. Winter tires are great until you get high centered.

[smk]

Around 7 degree celsius

[mmmk]

I'm planning on swapping out my summer wheels for my OEMs before the end of October. Just have to pick a day where I'm not lazy!

[q0192837465]

I put mine on already. It does consistently go down to single digit @ night.

[shenmecar]

Mine were on all year :confused::confused:

[you!]

went back to winter mode 2 weeks ago:(

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

Big dumps of snow like last year don't happen often enough around here that they need to make a budget for clearing side streets.

when it dips below 5 degrees i think your snow tires are going to be a lot better for grip than your summers, regardless of width

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.

well, in previous years they would leave the side streets for last after clearing the main roads. last year, they didn't even bother doing it at all. i still remember having to slalom thru side streets with buried abandoned cars that have been sitting for weeks because no one can move or tow them away.

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

last year was a chaos

[!Yaminashi]

By the end of the month for me. Hopefully we get another dry weekened soon so I can get on it

[K23A1]

steelies and snowies back on this saturday ..

While I agree with the theory, I found in practice that immediately after swapping I was spinning the tires when starting at intersections on cold nights.
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! :thumbsup:

if an 83 volvo is your daily... what is your beater?

just curious because my friend's winter beater is a 240 sedan :p

[hirevtuner]

next month exactly for me

[ctsport]

As soon as my tires & steelies come in. :D Last year I could barely get get my car out of my parking spot, not going to happen again. :D

[slammer111]

Did mine last week, on the 7th, thought it would get cold/rainy this week. Yeah it's a week or two early. But rather do that than freezing my butt off trying to change it during single digits.

Edit: looks like rain after all. Yay for me!
