Prolly in the next two weeks... 1 cuz they handle well in cold conditions regardless of if there is snow or not... (5C and below) and 2. I'd rather do it when it's only kinda cold as opposed to when it's really cold...

remember i'm warm blooded so already today is damn close to really cold in my books!

93 civic eg auto for the winter. For those of you who like to e brake... its the same punishment as going 50<
my tires are Firestone winterforce and I like em. The give me all the control in the world and allow me to drift nicely in the snow

never

with the winters we've been having lately I don't see a use for them

I can handle 3 or 4 major storms in all seasons

not gonna waste money on two seperate sets of tires anymore

You can't have that kind of mentality, Luka. I can bet that one little 360 spin on the 401 or a little slippy fender bender will totally change your mind. I've been there before and it totally change my way of driving.
