Sweating my ass off switching wheels over thinking....... Will I even need winters this year? :blink:
oh well... It's done. Nothing worse than having to swap wheels in -20 weather.
Bring on the white stuff!

I did mione last year around this time, and was worried all winter about the temperature. Actually was wanting snow to try out the tires. I'll be watching the temperatures. I was thinking this morning, that maybe we won't be needing them this winter.
