Winter tires just on

Prepping for the big storm. Should be fun!

I didn\'t put my winters on until mid-nov last year. It\'s seems to be getting colder earlier this year. Last three commutes withs temps below 40.

I'm still running on my all seasons I picked up from you! I need to switch to my winters though!

Just put mine up at 9, and omg it was so fun outside. Made some nice donuts at target after surveying the damage in the area. Felt sorry for folks who were stuck (comon, its only half a foot haha) and some moron drove on the opposite direction as I entered the parkway...how the hell do u do that when the correct side ur suppose to be on is separated by a huge ditch

I hope you are getting your mileage worth out if those Bridgestones. Since you are on all seasons is wait to switch until December.

I don't feel comfortable with the max summers in anything under 40 degrees.

How's the 330 holding up? The warranty on the 335 is out in April. I am seriously considering the platinum protection plan.

I'm at 110,000 with no issues! Knock on wood! Those tires are holding up good! And I couldn't beat the price! I usually wait until end of Nov beginning of Dec to put the snows on.

You didn't even need snow tires for your xi. I was driving on my 17" All Season RFTs last year and was killing it on the snowy roads. I drove back from Rochester, NY the day after Xmas (in the blizzard) and was driving past Trucks and SUVs.

I picked up some 189s with summer RFTs this past summer so I am going to put on some nice Conti Extreme Contact DWS in the next week or two from Town Fair Tire. Purchased them and had them sent to Billerica but then I thought to myself...I am going to have to pay taxes on those biznatches...I'm reordering and sending them to Nashua, NH! hahaha. Saves me $50!

I am also picking up two other sets of tires for my wifey and my truck. So having everything done in NH saves me around $135 in taxes!
