Have you guys put your winter tires on yet?

J08M3 · 11-29-2010, 06:43 AM

As the title says. Have you guys, put your winter tires on yet? It's about that time of year again. I'm out on Long Island, and we're right on the verge of having to change over, but still getting some days close to 60º so I haven't switched them out yet.

Had them put on yesterday...

Of note...I used to mount the snow tires on and off each season myself, but I found out that Tires Plus does it for $20. I had them do it yesterday...

I just swap my wheels myself, I have two setups so it's a quick change

+1

car looks blah now, but can't wait for some snow fun

I've had my winter setup on for a few weeks already actually. It had gotten to the low 30's every morning during my commute and the highs were just in the low 50's so I decided it was about time. I want to put my 20" P40's on already though

Yeah, me too, but this year I couldn't get the #%@* wheel off the car..

advans · 11-29-2010, 12:40 PM

tires coming in this week with the TPMS, got the Blizzak WS60 on 18s!

so yeah, maybe in two weeks?

jrlee53 · 11-29-2010, 02:56 PM

Was going to put them on Saturday, but Bay Shore doesn't open then anymore. Anyone know a reliable tire shop they can point me too around the Huntington area? I use to go to All Weather Tires, but the people they are hiring lately aren't really good at what they do anymore.

I'm too lazy to mount my winter setup but I've got my X5 as my winter beater. I'll run the M3 only when it's dry to keep the battery good and the fluids cycled.

chris s · 11-29-2010, 07:02 PM

This week for sure....

J08M3 · 11-29-2010, 07:21 PM

I will probably change them this week as well...... Just hate the idea of a few 50-60º sunny days and wearing down that soft tread.

Plus the car looks so much better with the summer wheels

Bart@AUTOcouture · 11-30-2010, 02:05 AM

By the weekend.

Hawk Lax · 11-30-2010, 09:06 AM

Winters go on every year Thanksgiving weekend and come off the weekend folowing St. Pats

Get a small 4 pound sledge hammer, I need to use it on one wheel at least on the truck every year even with antiseize applied

shamoo · 11-30-2010, 01:36 PM

I haven't yet, but I need to. Just being lazy, and the wheels are so ugly.
