Gotta think about all these things if you want to be safe on the road. Make sure whatever car you drive in the winter has the proper tires. This is more of a safety thing than performance so I would get in that ASAP if you haven't already. I just put mine on today.

I think the tires on my Honda are all weather tires, im pretty sure.

You should make that 100% sure before it gets colder outside.

Well my summer tires were pretty much done and one of them was leaking, so I didn't really have much choice. I wanted to wait another month, but no luck there :(

I make the switch to winters usually mid-late November. Might roll into December depending on how the weather goes.

That's the worst idea, so you prefer to back into things instead of hitting it with your front bumper?

If the ABS is freaking out due to packed snow/ice then it is actually a really good idea [to pull the e-brake]. Quickest stop in those conditions is with wheels locked, so provided your are going straight and the speed is low it is highly effective. It has saved my *** from a certain crash more than once, especially in downhill when the rear gets light.
