The winter tires will perform better in temperatures up to 50 degrees F. If you're driving in temps below that and you think the summer tires work better, then I think you're suffering from paranoid delusions...

I put mine on two weeks ago. I almost forgot what I was missing - it feels like a brand new car. I realize they can't perform under 45 degrees so I'm not pushing it, but the difference in road feel is awesome.

I've heard we're due for some more snow! I'm going to wait 2 more weeks, but I'm looking forward to it! Back to the turbo rims!

I kinda got used to the 18 inchers and 'higher' profile tires. I think I am going to be in for a shock when the summers go back on (next weekend) and I hit my first pothole. Thankfully I got the tire/wheel hazard package.

Yes sir!! This Saturday the Bridgestones are getting put back on! But I must say Pirelli Snowsports are quite good for winter.
