Snow tires already??

WTF seriously? It's only 20 November and I put my snow tires on today (separate set of wheels, TPMS, etc.). A combination of early snow (we had a tiny bit on Tues, more tomorrow), being away for work most of December, and just plain wanting to avoid the hassle led me to do it early.

I figure I'll just drive the Cayman on the random 55-60* days.

sounds like a good reason to move back to SoCal.

No shit man!!! I sent Super D my info for that job in San Diego. I grew up in Burbank and I have a house in SD. It's in my blood!!

Plus, I'll trade both of my cars in for a GT3 or Aston if I move back to SoCal. One and a half seasons FTW!

I put my moms tires on today, last night we got about 3 inches and I had forgot how bad her 528i on summer performance tires really is in the snow.

(read: not even fun drifting around every corner, just plain snowplowing into every corner taken above 10km/h)

It's amazing... Last year our first snow wasn't until late December. This year? Mid-November!

It's going to be a long winter.
