Switched to snow tires tonight... we're supposed to get snow tomorrow afternoon.

I drove the car around town to initialize FTM and immediately noticed the difference from the run flats (my winter tires are normal tires). The ride is so much better.

Did you dismount your runflats and replace them or switch to a new wheel/tire combo?

Good idea to have a new wheel/tire set. It cost me $200 to dismount the runflats and replace and balance with snow tires.

Crap! I hope we don't get too much white stuff. My snows are still in my garage and I just got home from work. Too tired to put them on tonight.

Snows falling! Hope we accumulate enough snow so I can really test the snow tires!
