How soon are your winters? The cars are supposed to be out anywhere between now and October, right? I got my BRZ October 5th of 2012. According to a news paper article for Anchorage, Alaska, in 2012 snow first fell on September 29th, but that was in the mountains. We usually have a few weeks of safety before it finally reaches the rest of the city. Average date for snowfall is October 17th, which sounds about right after living here for 30 years. I'm pretty sure we didn't get snow until about the last couple of days of October, if not the first couple days of November. Looks like last year our first major snow was November 10th, which is unusually late.

In any case, if you had gotten snow tires earlier then you would've been set.

Thanks. I don't pay much attention to FR-S stuff until I need to. I apologize for my elitist BRZ attitude. That price seems very reasonable for cool wheels to complete that TRD look.
