Got bored so figured I’d throw a poll up.  
When do you put your snow tires on?  
What tires do you run? How would you rate them?  
Or, do you run all-seasons?

A day before the first sticking snow is forecast. Hankook iPikes last year, Blizzack WS-60’s this year if Jon and I eventually get around to exchanging my cash for his tires. 🙂

How’d you like the iPikes? They look like a Hakka with a different name on the sidewall, just wondering if you liked them?

I wait until it snows too. But I killed a tire so I have one winter tire on now. It beats running a donut!

I’ll have to post pics of the tire. It’s the strangest tire failure I’ve ever seen. It lost a 1/4" strip of rubber all the way around towards the inside of the tire right down to the belts. Tire pressure was still at 32psi when I took it off and all front end elements are fully functional. It’s some strange shit.
