Have you installed your winters yet?

Just want to get an idea of when everyone installed their winters or when they PLAN to do it?

I've been waiting out since I heard that the Blizzaks wear out quite fast when there is no snow.

I guess I'll wait it out another week or two then, since it was 18c today and 19c tomorrow in Toronto. =P

Tires are scheduled to arrive next week. However I have not yet decided on wheels.

I guess if it snows, I have to arrange a car service until I get the winters on.

I wouldn't even think of taking it out with the summers on.

Already put mine on.....was in Grande Prairie this past week and thankfully I had them! couple inches of snow with some freezing rain made the streets pretty slick! the Toyo tires handled the conditions well. then I come back to edmonton and there isn't a drop of snow to be found......
