You guys are BRAVE - we get snow all the way up into April!!! Plus I need to start working out again so I can carry my run flats up out of the basement (That's a workout in itself!).
My grill is in use all year long however... and its charcoal baby...

Put my summer RFTs on Saturday as it felt like the first day of Spring. Compared to my Blizzak snow/ice RFTS, OMG did the summer shoes feel good. Smooth as glass and super comfy. Hit the DTC button and had the back end dancing again. Yum. One forgets the great handling. Burnt a 1/4 tank amusing myself. Can't image how good non-RFTs would feel but my summer RFTs are just fine.
Yes, putting on the wheels takes some effort, particularly swinging the rear monster on a hub. My Lord. Had to lay on my back to get those on. The style 124 OEM rims are heavy compard to the replica winter wheels. Big difference. Slept good that night.

PS Its supposed to get cold again this weekend with some chance of snow. Minor annoyance.

I'm glad I kept the snow tires on because it's gonna be cold (with some snow possible) all week here in Chicago: mid-30s.
Looks like the summer shoes will have to stay in the closet for another 7-10 days. :thumbsdown:

C'mon! It'll melt right away if it comes down at all. Anyway, with the DTC off, you can really spin the rear tires when it's cold like this. Especially on a slight uphill incline.

Right. Heck, I got some serious rear end action with the snows on with traction control on. Inclines really helps this.
