Is it snow tire day? - Subaru Enthusiasts Car Club of the Sierras

Dean · 2009-12-06, 07:09 AM

I'm thinking today may be the day the snows should go on the car.

Storms coming through all week and low temps...

I think the snow donkeys are coming to town.

Nick Koan · 2009-12-06, 10:12 AM

They be comin' round the mountain

Got them on while I had a little sunshine around 10:00. I swear a couple donkeys were watching from across the gully...

khail19 · 2009-12-06, 05:27 PM

I put mine on last weekend. I figured it would be warm and sunny for a while after doing so.

Kevin M · 2009-12-06, 06:08 PM

I always put mine on by the middle of October.

cody · 2009-12-06, 08:32 PM

Switched straight from autox tires to my 3 year old Wintersport 3D's after the last event. This will be the 3rd time they've seen snow this year.

100_Percent_Juice · 2009-12-06, 09:29 PM

This is my 2nd winter with my 3D's. So awesome.

Dean · 2009-12-06, 09:35 PM

Just shoveled/pushed 4"s or so around the driveway. Light stuff fortunately.

BOO · 2009-12-06, 10:02 PM

Subie just got snows on(stockers) today and The Audi gets(Blizzaks) them on tomorow. The toy has All Terrains so I am not worried about it.

GusGus91 · 2009-12-06, 10:14 PM

my all seasons sucked tonight driving home... Going to buy some blizzaks tomorrow. Need them BAD

BOO · 2009-12-06, 10:29 PM

Just now I went out side my front porch area to take these pictures of my 4Runner. As you can see, it is still snowing.

It was crazy slippery on my way home from work at around 8pm or so. The wet roads from earlier in the day froze up then got dusted with 2in of snow. Tomorrow morning when the sun first hits the roads is going to be brutal for the commute.

Drive slow and safe everyone! It's hardcore donkey weather!

^^ Definitely some good advice here!!!!

I was almost side swiped by a Mercedes SUV tonight. Luckily I was out testing the winter tires and I swerved around him like a pro. Then I thought, "crap, that guys insurance would have fixed my door."

catlike reflexes = sometimes fail

Please explain(PM me if you'd like). I didn't notice anything wrong last time I saw you.

Dean · 2009-12-07, 06:48 AM

I don't think we have to worry about the sun this morning, the packed down many inches of snow will be trouble enough.

Snow Donkeys are everywhere!!! Stay home if you can. No matter how good your tires are, other idiots are not and you will make a good target.

I'm headed out to shovel.

van · 2009-12-07, 07:12 AM

Damn ugly out there. Gotta get some chains on.

WRX06TR · 2009-12-07, 07:29 AM

Great...I have to go to work, and drive around downtown all day. Good thing the Blizzaks have been on since September, wish me luck!

MPREZIV · 2009-12-07, 08:08 AM

Blizzaks = Win

GusGus91 · 2009-12-07, 08:08 AM

I love it

Yayayayayyay snow!! Man I wish I was up there to enjoy it. The weather people said it was supposed to snow here, but it didn't make it down to our place. Just rain. :/

cody · 2009-12-07, 08:24 AM

There's a good 14-16" on my patio table. Took just over an hour to get from Stead to my GF's work on Moana. Lot's of stuck cars on the surface streets. No, your 2WD pickup will not make it up that hill, Sir.
