Default Hmmm seems its almost time to put the winter tires on

Daytime highs around 7 for the next couple of weeks (and it wont get better from there) and lows around freezing and rain this weekend. Have to drive up to Thornbury tomorrow and possible rain/snow! Was hoping to forestall it for a few more weeks but may have to get to it sooner rather than later

A couple of mornings now with snow on the driveway. I’m not putting winters on this year just staying with summers all winter and just not driving at all.

Yup, Porsche went into storage last weekend after a final drive on Saturday

Then the winters went on the BMW on Sunday - my Advan AD08's were not liking the low temps!

I'm up at blue for the weekend. Snow possible Sunday. Tire changing weekend for two of my buddies. I bring the equipment, and supervise.
Big Smoke management.
But I'll still end up doing most/all the work. Big Smoke tip? Make the owner do all the final torquing of the nuts. That alleviates liability, from your good intentions help.

Macan snow? Maybe first week of November. STi may go to sleep. Can't seem to sell the X5. May as well drive that in the snow and crap with new snows on that.

Anybody need an H8(?) battery? out of my X5... I have an extra one, that tested at CT, fine. FOB yonge 401
