Got my snow tires installed today, anyone else?

Today I actually had time and took it down to the BMW dealer to swap out my summer tires, they did a great job and no scratches on the wheels.

It was only $100 for everything, cheaper than Bob Sumerall that wanted $160

fyi, if you're a Costco member they'll usually swap out your summer/winter tires for $20 total. I put my winters on 2 weeks ago, but I have a spare set of wheels so I can swap them out myself.

Plus when you diy you know exactly what condition everything's in. Would Costco know/care to put anti-seize on the hubs? I am a Costco member but would never get tires from them....

any concerns with warmer weather? it's suppose to be almost 60 here in Ohio. i guess it's better to have them on early than to need them later when snow hits and you're fubared.

i'm still getting use to the drop in steering dynamics - it's a weird squishy feelings when turning.

Got my Pirelli winter tires installed last week.
Great tires, can't even tell the difference to my summer tires.

Have had winter tires on for almost a month (in Finland). Only had ones with studs before and the snow still hasn't arrived.. which is fairly strange... Fortunately, I changed my car and the new one had studless winter tires.. Now driving is more quiet Size is 225/45/17.

Now i'm just on hold for snow and the sideways action to start
