When are you putting on your snow tires?

The soon the better for you wrxjunky cause your stock tires have probably already started losing traction with anything below 45 degree's

Yeah, I was reading about these tires losing traction at 40 degrees... Not happy to hear, but I don't want to put the winters on till after my re-dyno on the 10th.

 
i dont change my tires for the winter, i change cars haha

My snows were on a few weeks ago for a couple days while duck hunting. May go on sunday as I will get caught at school with snow if I don't.

^ this man speaks the truth.

Remember folks. Snow tires are for #1 braking #2 Corning #3 grip #4 traction for acceleration.

Please read. Lots of info about winter tire rubber compounds, AWD, fwd. rwd. What is winter tire siping.

is it worth getting a 4 wheel alignment when having my summer tires taken off and winter tires put on?

I'll put my project snows on on when they're ready & prepped (hopefull within next 2 weeks), but def after dyno day!

and btw, as we already agreed, these stock '12 summer tires are junk! Azenis FTMFW!

 
Putting some studded snow on my stock rims from my old car next friday. Have summer rims that I bought off calikid.

 
i have some massive snows i picked up from a member earlier this year. 240 or 245 40s on 17s. originally i had planned on selling the snows, but i decided i to keep them. the rims look good on the car too. ill keep an eye on the weather, but i have a feeling its going to be toward the end of november, the colder is gets, the more ill be likely to put them on.
