Winter mode, when are you switching?
Hey guys, don't want to say it, but it's getting closer to those dreading days, anyone switching to winter mode anytime soon? I'm thinking to do it by end of this month (take off front bumper, put original bumper on, and swapping wheels and tires). I hope the temperature won't drop to that low but who knows, maybe we'll get a warm up late this year.

Probably mid November, considering there should be no snowfall until at least November end

Looking at the 14 day trend. It looks like there is still a lot of 10-15 degree weather awaiting us mid November.
So I'm going to switch over at the first sign of possible snow in the forecast. |
