Default Put mine on a week or two ago.... you just never know what's going to happen in Denver

We already had our first snow so it's better for me to be prepared...

Default 28 degrees this AM around Boston..summer tires felt like hockey pucks

It's not gonna snow very soon but colder temps make the summer tires feel like crap.
Also saw a few icy spots.
Might switch over this weekend myself.

If your taking the RS4 to Boston I would go winter. Anything under 40 and hockey pucks for sure.

Default if that chump Bam Margera can drive a Gallardo from Detroit to Philly through a blizzard....

...on summer tires, NY to Boston should be a piece of cake.
