My tires don't seem to care for this wet cold stuff, but it's still too early to breakout the winters.

She loves the cool air!

I heard the fat man promising mid 60's next week. Winter isn't quite upon us yet.

Happy November all...

Figured we could come back to this thread a little bit.

Seeing as how the season of reduced traction is upon us.

Dont jinx us.. a nice and cool 70 Degrees in Aurora

I see mid 50's for this coming sunday and more 60's by next week. I don't mind one bit.

Remember the spring of 2012, 80's in march!

I'm still driving around, figure I have at least a few weeks of salt free conditions. Though, usually the first salting happens because it's 50 during the day and rains, then temps drop to 30 at night.

It's cold enough to justify them. <40 my tires are not that safe anymore.

osbornsm · 11-12-2015, 10:58 AM

Although i must say...
Running 245's on the back of the Z in cold wet weather is rather entertaining.

Jsolo · 11-13-2015, 02:57 PM

When to put the snow's on..... I think we got another two weeks at least.

ZMan8 · 11-16-2015, 05:19 PM

Well yesterday I took advantage of the great weather by washing the Z before storage. Will be moving the car to storage this weekend

b15 · 11-16-2015, 06:33 PM

I did the same yesterday.
