I'm probably gonna go and do it the first weekend of November. We may not get any big snow storms until December but it's better to be safe than sorry. People always forget how to drive in the snow the first time it hits the ground and shops are super busy the weekend after a big storm because everyone panics and wants snow tires put on their cars immediately.

I spent my snow tire money on a new turbo so we'll see how that pans out.

No snow tires here. My car is going in the garage in exactly 18 days for winter hibernation.

I actually already have my snows on. Discount had a great deal and just decided to get em early. Normally wait till mid October, but I drive in the mountains for work, so I tend to put them on earlier then most people.

I still have to buy them, I made it through last winter without snow tires or 4wd, but it was sketchy. Getting a set is on the agenda.
