I thought about putting mine on yesterday, but decided to hold out.
They’re calling for “less then an inch” of snow later this morning, turning to all rain this afternoon.
Hopefully I’ll be OK.
I did get them down off the storage shelf and checked the pressure and made sure everything was alright.
The next prediction that’s for higher totals and I’ll slap them on.
With a good floor jack it only takes about 30-45 minutes, so I always wait until the last possible day to put them on.

Put mine on yesterday, haven't driven it as I am not anxious to. my winter wheels are OEM tires/wheels, will likely buy Blizzaks for 112 from Tirerack tho before it gets too bad. Tired of sliding around.

Makes the car look funny with the stock wheels back on.

I'm glad I took the off. I was starting to clean the car less and less. I didn't want the brake dust to do too much damage to the finish.

I’m still curious how they’ll perform in the deep stuff.
Not good I’m thinking, but I don’t want to be the one to find out.

Put my Blizzaks on just after Thanksgiving. No real snow here in southeastern Wisconsin yet, but it can't be far off. Always gets me that the car seems to accelerate better with the Blizzaks on - probably because they are mounted on 16" wheels and are of slightly smaller diameter than the 17" stockers. They make a bit of noise in the wet, and a lot more noise coming out of corners. The car handles like a tank in the snow however, and that makes them worthwhile.
