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.

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.
