Did you switch to snow tires yet?

Just wanted to see how many people switched out their wheels/tires for their winter set up?

I heard there's a couple flurries coming tomorrow. Highly doubt it, but we'll have to wait and see.

not sure if you are serious, but summer tires in this cold weather isnt a joke - they dont grip very well and should be changed out around now -- i try not to drive as much as possible in this weather since i dont have any winters OR all season - car came with summer tires on 193m's

be safe out there would hate to see what happened to dan happen to someone else

I'm originally from way upstate NY... I personally have found that in the area that I'm living in now as long as you aren't flying around and there isn't a sheet of snow outside the summer tires work fine. Temps at least around here in CT haven't dropped below anything I would consider dangerous to be driving on summer tires. May not be for anyone, but if you use your head and have experienced brutal winters year after year you'd probably find snow tires to not be necessary. Definitely not bashing on anyone for putting them on now. It is a safety issue and if you don't feel comfortable driving on summer tires right now clearly you shouldn't.

If you aren't driving at all why not just pay for some cheaper parking outside the city/state?
