I was going to wait until next week to put mine on, but I had a summer tire blow out yesterday (sidewall shredded all the way around the rim by a piece of road debris). Maybe 7 months on the tire with ~8,000km, and destroyed... So I ended up putting the winters on. I understand the need for them, but I hate them. On asphalt the car just feels floaty, and in the rain they skid on even slightly-above-average braking, and what would be normal acceleration with the summers on.
