It looks like I'll be taking off my newly purchased wheels on Wednesday

The forecast is expecting snow this Wednesday night. Wheels are coming off, but the snow tires will be going on soon after. :biggrin:

ide rather take my weather forecast from a guy working @ mcdonalds then the local weather guys/gals

 

Crap... i REALLY don't wanna have to do a bunch of wheel swapping this week... i gotta run the summers Sat/Sun for a photoshoot.

 

Im sure it wont even stick, dont take them off yet!

 

^Amen

 

From what I can recall, it hasn't snowed in MN on October since 1989 or something like that. I hope it's only a cold front and not a permanent weather change.

 

indeed.. weather forcast is mostly bs

 

hmm..remember the a** dumping we got in 91? over 37 inches in duluth on Halloween.

But it would have to snow really fast and hard for it to stick. this snow won't stick, the ground is too warm.

last year though I got the winter/summer wheel swapping down to 10 minutes in my garage...funny, but not fun. I'm waiting until the last minute this year!

 

pshh, i want snow! i hope the forcast is right!

 

looks like teh ghay re92s will come in handy after all

 

it proberly hit only up northern mn

 

I ain't taking mine off.... gotta atleast have them on until after the Duluth cruise.

 

That's good news then. If it won't stick, I'll just continue to roll in my 18s until late November.

 

look at u...very predictable

 

oi! I rolled on almost BALD all-seasons last year!! They were at the WEAR LINES!!! Just know your limits and car then you'll be fine. If you fall off the road, then opps....I didn't...hehehe

I need my car to run! Where are my Legacy Turbo Donar guys?

 

w00t snow. i hoped we get dumped on this year. brown x-mas is lame. although if this stuff coming sooner then latter, mike should speed up the GB. my all season were scary last winter, i am terrifeid of them on snow now.

 

SH**, that ^^^ is exactly what I was thinking when I saw this thread.

 

readymix, you better have my rims done soon!! Even though it is not going to stick I want them in my garage so I am ready!!! Let me know when I can come get them.

 

The odds of anything significant sticking in the Twin Cities before December are always low. Change to your winter tires now, and you'll be driving them in 60+ degree weather sometime in the next month.

Of course, I'll be cahnging to my Hakkas in a week and a half, but that's because I'll be on my way to Houghton, MI, and it can snow and stick up there this early. Plus the hakkas are much better on gravel than the PS2s.

But swapping wheels isn't a big deal. I've been known to do it multiple times in one day when rallycrossing (well, my back hates it, but that's 'cause I'm old).

 

I am still running the tires I got with 900 miles on the car 3 years ago... they will do another winter...

 

Any way for before friday? I am thinking of putting those on so my nice ones dont get destroyed on the dirt roads up in duluth...

 

Ding Ding...anybody that thinks there will be snow remaining 2hrs after it quits is living in 1991. I highly doubt there will even be slush on the road.

Note that the 'Northerners' may have a different situation.

 

i heard 4-5" for the arrow head region.

i just want to be ready for it. cause i know my current tires arent going to be safe in anytype of snow/slush.

 

PM'ed

 

Sh** it is really snowing hard here on Buffalo. Good thing it is warm still, well sorta.

 

pictures?????? i want to see!!!:yumyum:

 

I did not think to take pictures. It slowed and stopped now but it was an impressive downfall. Still have a little snow around the posts on the deck.

 

^^ that's cool, I was able to get my own....Here's Edina at 3:55PM today from my office balcony.

it's from my camera phone so it's not the best

 

its 4:30 and down here at the U of M, it is fallin like mad. i am chillin in the library preparing to fail my finance exam, and lowe and behold a snow storm is happeninng right infront of me. hmm... i gotta figure out how to get into the group study room for a better view (or a better chair)

 

no snow here in eden prarie

 

about 4 it was snowing like mad?

Are the official "its snowing threads" still around

 

The snow today was weaksauce. I took a corner going 15 mph and no slippage. Well... it wasn't snowing when I did it and the road was dried already. :hsugh:

 

The cold by itself is enough to harden up my summer tires to the point where things can get a bit slippy.

Can't wait to be able to take cloverleafs in a 4-wheel drift on a regular basis again

 

OMG IT was a STORM!!!
but really,,,it has to be a HEAVY DEAL for anything to stay on the ground.

 

I noticed the same problem today pulling out onto a road this evening. Tires felt like they were covered in grease.
