Put The Winters On In 28? Weather.
#1
Sweating my ass off switching wheels over thinking....... Will I even need winters this year? :blink:

oh well... It's done. Nothing worse than having to swap wheels in -20 weather.

Bring on the white stuff!

I did mione last year around this time, and was worried all winter about the temperature. Actually was wanting snow to try out the tires. I'll be watching the temperatures. I was thinking this morning, that maybe we won't be needing them this winter.

If anything we won't actually see snow till atleast december, the way it's been the last few years.
