Anybody got snow tires on yet?

Especially WI, MN? Thinking of doing it this weekend just because I hate doing it after it gets too cold.

I ran snow wheels and tires on my e34 for 5 years. I know how you feel. The only problem is if the temperature gets warm then the tires are too soft and squealy. As I hate changing wheels when it is cold, it is still kind of warm. I live in Chicago so I am not too far from you. I would change them when it was consistently under 55 for the high. I would at least wait a week or 2. When ever you change them, good luck with the the weather.

Ordered some new Hakka 4's from the Tire Factory in MI and installed them here on my car this past week. Got caught short last year and do not want that to happen again. Will let you know how they do here in Chicago this year.

I love Hakka's, I run studded ones on my truck. Are the Hakka 4's studded/studable?

I didn't run snow tires last year on mine, and we got hit really hard with snow in Ontario, "snow belt area". The car handed fine i found, yes snow tires would make a difference but I'm not getting them until I get some new summer tires. Just drive carefully. My gti has them though, it really needs them

that is not a wise decision to make. It's not just snow, but temperature that makes a big difference in how your tires perform. The colder it gets the less capable an all season tire is of holding the road with any kind of grip. Eventually, the rubber can even freeze. It's dangerous to not run winter tires in our climate.

Anybody got an opinion on winter grade rubber? Designed for below 5C but do they work?
