Winter Tires on yet?
Any of you guys rocking the winters and the steelies yet? I'm thinking of changing over soon. The current decline in the temp is not agreeing well wint the Summer Tires.

What about you guys?

HaHaHa I don't think i will be needing the winters this year. Word on the street is that it rarely drops below about 2 degrees in the winter here in Victoria. Check out the gardens i saw on my bike ride yesterday and tell me if you really think i hsould have brought the winters

i'm switching at the end of october, i'm not taking the chance of having to drive in flurries with my Hankook Z212's....it won't be pretty.

i'm putting stock suspension back in, removing front lip and putting the winters on all at once, should be good to go then

Me too. Mine ride like crap and are super noisy on dry pavement. It wears them out way too fast.

First week of November usually for me. Not sure about the rest of you, but my summer tires don't have too much traction sub 10 degrees celcius.
