Let It Snow!

I'm waiting for tires23 to get mine in stock. Everyone is putting winters on already? Is it cold enough? I was going to paint mine before I put them on anyways so it'll be at least a couple weeks before mine go on.

i was going to wait longer, but figured i would rather have them on, then be caught out when it snows with the summer contis.

lol i think LC is going to melt your winter tires faster... next thing you know you'll be hauling tarmac.

Here's my winter mode:

Forgot to take a picture before the summer tires went off...

looking at your car, did you only change the rear bumper? sides still look stock. The back looks amazing though. :thumbsup:

Ya, too early, IMHO. I got my winter tires/steelies last week, but I'm not mounting them yet. It was 17C and sunny today in Ottawa. 18C and sunny tomorrow. No snow or sub-zero degree temps in the 14-day forecast. So, I won't be mounting them for a while, I guess :thumbsup: Winter tires are meant for colder temps and are made with softer rubber. Using them now, you are just wearing them away at a much faster rate. I do my own mounting, so I'm holding-off until the last moment.

^ Good point. I put it on way too early. Last couple weeks the weather was terrible, so I thought it was gonna snow soon :mad0259:

I put mine on that day it snowed (a little)

I leave for work early and didnt want to risk being stuck on summer tires, besides I value my summer tires more than my winter tires.

Next week temps should drop to 5C
