Yup! temperatures reach below 30 in certain areas already.

noodleface · 11-21-2012, 11:49 AM

Yes, I did it election day prior to the storm. But then again, I have a BRZ so better safe than sorry.

Ultimateone · 11-21-2012, 11:53 AM

Yes, last Monday I did because you just never know.

Mr.Sparkle · 11-21-2012, 12:17 PM

About 2 weeks ago. mostly because my summers are very worn and driving in the rain was getting sketchy.

_adam · 11-21-2012, 12:27 PM

I've just been putting it off since the temps seem to be in the 40-50s until they stop forecasting :/

sport6 · 11-21-2012, 12:50 PM

Likely will be putting them on this weekend, as I shoot for thanksgiving to tax day on the snows.

TheFirstScion · 11-21-2012, 12:52 PM

No, I put my car away

Snow's will go on the beater though, I always do it turkey day morning

on a side note both Proxes4 and Starspecs both say right on the side wall to not drive them in near freezing temperatures regardless of road condition.

leach0789 · 11-21-2012, 02:15 PM

Swapping over this weekend

redsoxwin · 11-21-2012, 02:15 PM

I just bought a truck instead.

I have Proxes4. No problem what so ever in near or even below freezing weather.

Anyone who says otherwise has either never driven on them or they need to compensate for bad driving by blaming mishaps on their tires.

But as far as the thread, my snows are prob going on Friday afternoon.

sweed · 11-21-2012, 06:48 PM

As soon as I get my car running again. (need new/used throttle body)

vision.dynamix · 11-21-2012, 07:44 PM

My NT01s aren't happy in this weather.

kevinnz · 11-21-2012, 08:09 PM

too warm imo. stil 40-50

ChesterWRX · 11-21-2012, 08:12 PM

Back in October.

iamrazor · 11-21-2012, 09:48 PM

or tree.

03SubyWRX · 11-21-2012, 10:15 PM

The wrx is getting garaged and I bought a 97 impreza wagon for the winter. I did put snows on it though.

Paul88 · 11-21-2012, 10:44 PM

Not yet!

mikedotd · 11-21-2012, 11:03 PM

Looks like you need 25 posts to vote... but my answer is no. I'm riding some Hankook Ventus V12 k110 summers that are doing surprisingly well in the cold, including that storm New England got in October (kind-of-sorta-almost-as-good as all-seasons with snow on the ground). They do so well in the dry cold that I'm going to wait until the plows are out again to mount my winter tires (Dunlop SP Winter Sport 3D's, which are ok... they do well in the slush but aren't super grippy in deep snow).

Jimmy S. · 11-22-2012, 10:15 AM

All seasons ftw.

spaceywilly · 11-22-2012, 11:30 AM

I'll be putting my wrx back on the road this weekend and then once it is consistently below 40 I'll pick up some snows.

SubiGrl2011WRX · 11-22-2012, 12:55 PM

Mine have been on a few weeks now!!

Jack ffr1846 · 11-22-2012, 03:05 PM

Yes and no....

Took the wife's summer snows off and put on the winter snows (more tread)
Bought a wheel/winter tire package from tire rack for the explorer
Snows for the conFusion remain in the shed

scooby888 · 11-22-2012, 05:05 PM

Just changed them out this morning. Thanksgiving Day morning tradition!
