So when is a good time to throw on the winters around here. This will be my first Alberta winter. I don’t want to put them on and have no snow until December and my summers are pretty much new and are sticky in the wet. ---

I put them on once we have snow on the ground that stays and doesn’t melt. ---

So put some winters on your stock wheels. 😃 ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v209/2003specv/spec006.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v209/2003specv/spec006.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v209/2003specv/IMGP0073.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v209/2003specv/IMGP0073.jpg) ---

I’m too cheap to switch over the tires every winter/spring. Besides I already have the steelies and they aren’t wide like the stockers. ---

I use my stock rims also… I will wait till the snow stays for more than a day… I’m too scared to drive on the stock conti’s. ---

I find it really slippery on dry or semi dry pavement with winter tires …they are too soft … wait until it is cold outside below zero as well as snow on the ground ---
