Winters...are on...'sniff...sniff' - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum

86rexer · 10-17-2011, 01:15 PM

Just put my winters on...maybe prematurely...but easier than when it's raining and cold...I know there'll be a few more nice sunny days between now and first snow. one less thing to worry about.

Mr&Mrs323i · 10-17-2011, 01:39 PM

What's the 5-day temp range in your area?

The evenings in Vancouver are below 10.

Evolution_GT · 10-17-2011, 02:10 PM

Mine aren't going on till at least beginning of November...

Spoolin335 · 10-17-2011, 02:51 PM

Mine are not going on till it snows...holy shit did you jump the gun, its 14 outside right now.

Might as well put some money aside to replace your winter tires before the snow falls.

Dr. G · 10-17-2011, 03:21 PM

Mine aren't going on till end of december LOL

achien · 10-17-2011, 03:33 PM

you better pray it won't hit 20 in the coming days. all 4 of your rubbers are going to "melt".

Mine aren't going till end of January lol. I love my summers, although we may be in for a snowy winter so it is wise to get them on but October is too early for me.

And at same time put the winter tires on.(saves me another appointment)

I am going to miss the 19"
they look so god damn sweet on the car
and I have only had them and car for 2 weeks

Andy M · 10-17-2011, 07:43 PM

I'll probably put mine on at the end of November to be honest.

+1 holy!! So early for winters.

pepep · 10-17-2011, 08:35 PM

My winter tires will not be installed at all......

Glim · 10-18-2011, 09:39 AM

It's starting to get cold on the west coast but no where near 6 during the day.

I have my winters ready to go - but not yet...

BRAISKI · 10-18-2011, 10:55 AM

I'll put mine on when I see a constant temperature @ about 7 degrees or below 10 during the day.

My summers are completely done...down to the wear bars front and back..20k on them.Looked at the rears and the belts are starting to show. there was method to my madness...

SteveA · 10-18-2011, 01:07 PM

I'll probably wait another few weeks for the weather to be consistently cooler. Did anyone else pick up a set of Toyo Observe GSi-5? I haven't seen any reviews on them (I think they are replacing the G-02), so I'll let everyone know how they perform once the snow starts to fall.

Wow

What brand and model?

melmo · 10-18-2011, 03:45 PM

I like to have my winters on by the Grey Cup weekend. I've found it to be a good way to remember to put my winters on each year (well, as long as you follow Canadian football

)

kol · 10-18-2011, 03:49 PM

I was supposed to go back to HK for 4 weeks coming back mid Nov...I didn't want to put my winters on when I got back, so I put them on early...now my trip was cancelled, so I've been driving on winters for the last 10 days...I just don't go out during the day and wait for the temps to drop to around 10...LOL

Toyo's Proxes T1R's....pretty much beat on them for two years...toast, very predicatable handling though

Pylon · 10-19-2011, 11:30 AM

I have to get a set of winters this year... RFT or no RFT?
