Winter Tires: time to put them on?
 

anyone putting on their winter tires now?

got myself black wheels and general altimax arctic this winter, hope they perform

It hasn't been a consistent 7 degrees yet. I think I will put mine on first the week of Nov.

still too early...I still want to roll on my Gram Lights before going back to stockers..

Stockers FTL!;)

i have a leak in my front drivers tire its gotten pretty bad (need to fill it with air once a week now)

was thinking of just throwing the snowies on and then bring the leakin tire in when i finally have some time

I thought the rule of thumb was to switch to winters after halloween?

looking at the 14 day trend. im gonna put on the winters after i get back from SEMA! yay!

I'm going to put mine on soon..... Summer tires have no tread.

I'm going to put them on when I get back to vancouver next week. Steelies ftw!

i might have to put mine on sooner than anticipated since i'm trying to sell off 1 of my 2 sets of steelies heh

Put them on now, that way if you want to go anywhere like Kelowna or Kamloops or Whistler you won't have to worry about your tires.

so... anybody else agree with this? i usually have my winters on by now but that's only because i lived in edmonton..

gonna wait till first snow fall arrives

lol

I'll wait until like mid-November. I've got a line on some winter wheels and a set of Goodyear Ultra Grip tires through my dealership. I'm not running the winter on shitty ecsta asx's, which I'm probably gonna sell with the rims they're mounted on, and get rota slips for next srping.

First winter tires ftw.

Gonna put them on next week, as I'm trying to sell my wheels also..
General Altimax's are very nice. I've been using them for two seasons (last season barely any snow, but the winter before that was insane!)

At least start preparing. Winter tire stock will be dwindling, and tire stores are only going to get busier moving forward.

I switch to winters when the 14 day trend is consistently below 10 degrees... which usually doesn't happen until after Halloween :)

When it reaches 7 degrees or lower all day long, that's when I'm switching :)

anyone know where to get a cheap winter set?

I go by the 7 degrees rule also. I've just been that way ever since.

Speed Syndicate?

sorat.. got 4 balanced and installed for 400 before hst. for my 07 civic lx.

Steelies FTW!

That's a pretty damn good deal.

Just looked on IIM's site and they have Icebear's for just under $100ea before tax.

+1 for sorat
got 4 tires mounted and balanced with steelies for 649 + tax for 09 corolla LE

on a side note, how do you guys maintain the steelies for winter? i heard people wax them to give them added protection. is this true?
