Those 12 inch tires will mount very easy on your 10 inch wheels. You will have trouble keeping the air in. :wink:

 

Nov 7 is my appt to get new tires mounted. Going with non-studded Hakkapeliittas. I like to put it off for as long as possible, and here in VT, that's about as long as you can go.

 

It helps if you have a chicken bone stuck in the back of your throat.....

 

how do I put it. If I want to be cold (car is from NZ) and if I want rust then yes I would drive it in the snow. I do have other cars for every occasion.:wink: If you can't drive a different car each day of the week then that's just sad.

 

Norm I'd go with the 185/65/15. Ground clearance is an asset in winter.

Nathan, you could buy a set of snow tires & wheels. The balance of the $2,000 could buy your friends many donuts. :donut1::donut1::donut1:

 

Alan, I changed from summers to all seasons 45 days ago because of temperature drops.

 

Yep, snow forecast for Md. this weekend.

 

I put mine on last weekend..... temps were dipping low lately so the summer tires weren't so grippy anymore.

 

And we are supposed to get 2-4 inches of snow here tomorrow :mad2:
I use our truck in the white stuff though.

 

I just changed back to the Spoolers and all season tires on Sunday. Didn't want to wait for it to get any colder!

 

put the WS60's on last weekend. No snow in the forecast yet, but it was -3 °C (27F) this morning, so it won't be long.

 

Allan your tires are like shaved race tires.:smilewinkgrin: Rain is enough to cause problems. Play it safe go with snow shoes.

I'll probably wait another week or two to install the winter foot ware. I'm on all seasons now so I'm not concerned about the cold temps just yet.

 

Putting mine on this weekend.

 

I just do one simple thing. I lift my right foot up just a little bit.

 

I thought Ohio was in the snow belt! :aureola:

We just had our big blast this past week, my wife has the daily commute so I lost the Jeep we let the MINI's rest and stay clean.:wink:

Cold is not the problem, 8-10inches of new wet snow around here brings out the nutty drivers. :eek6:

Don

 

I don't like to lift, so snow shoes let me piss off the SUV drivers. :devil:

 

It's definitly time...pulling off the summers reluctantly this weekend and am seriously considering some spacers for my winters as they just look so dainty...I am only dropping an inch in tire size, but am giving up some width. Anyone else use spacers for a better winter look?
