I don’t put the snows on the GTO until I see snow in the forecast, and even then it has to be enough that I know it will stick to the roads. I bet I’ll still be running the summers into late Nov/early Dec. My snows are mounted/balanced on spare rims though, so that makes it much easier to wait until the last minute.

I have the same set up. Winter rims and tires \> \*

I just don’t want to get hit with a “Surprise, we suck at forcasting” snow storm and I die as my ABS doesn’t let my car brake. I’m thinking next week would be a good time to switch to winter tires…

Yeah, if a freak storm comes out of nowhere I’ll just carpool with the wife.

The GTO looks like it will be starting a new life in Charleston WV:meh:, and all the other stuff will be parked in a combination of my garage and my parents garage.

I’m getting as much driving as I could in since 200 miles in a summer isn’t a lot.

Plus it’s not snowing, the weather is still decent, and there is no salt on the road.

Mine’s heading out on Sunday 🙂

I was going to ask that question because the kid with the 240sx said his car doesn’t like salt, yet it’s beginning of October, sure it’s cold but I can’t see snow/salt yet and I was just up there this weekend.

hopefully no salt for a while but if we have a cold enough night they will screw us all by dumping it everywhere.

It’s still nice out. Oooh it’s a bit chilly. Big deal.

Plus I never did understand the guys that take off their AWD cars in the winter. Winter would be the main reason for purchasing a WRX, etc.
