Putting on winter wheel is depressing
Took off the 19's and tossed on some winter wheels. 
I couldn't get CL wheels, so I went with TSX wheels and tires. I got a really good deal. The don't look all that bad. I'll take some pics next time I clean the car. Those of you looking for wheels for the winter may want to look into the TSX forum.
Also, I need some recommendations on places to get one of my Axis Mods fixed in NJ.

Good luck dodging those old granny florida drivers.I have yet to take mine off. I'm waiting for the first reports of possible snow, or until potholes start getting bad.

I am too but it's depressing that I can't keep them as clean as I did when the weather was hot.

Check the air pressure and clean them up a bit.
I leave them down near the car ready for a quick change.
Then as soon as the weather guy predicts snow I’m all ready for a quick change which takes about 30-45 minutes.
I’m still debating if I should buy a new set of tires now.
This will be winter number FIVE for mine and they’re starting to wear quite a bit.
Unlike summer tires, once snow tires get past 50-60 percent wear they’re pretty much useless in the deep stuff.

Same here. No point in rolling on winter tires this early since, normally, it doesn't snow this early in November. I just wait for the first prediction, then swap them out the night before. No biggie... some gloves, hat... done in 30-40 minutes.... I like to ride on good tires as long as possible

The EARLIEST I ever had to put the snows on was Thanksgiving weekend.
The LONGEST I ever went was the first week of January.
You just never know when the white shit will make its first appearance.
