The problem is, that it may be 6 or 7 degrees in the morning, but warms up to over 10 degrees in the daytime. No winter tire is great in warm and wet conditions, something that Vancouver gets a lot of during October. Last thing you want to do is hydroplane during a typical Vancouver rainstorm.
I usually mount my winters in early to mid November, when temperatures start getting closer to 5 degrees.
