[GTA] Are we there yet? (When are you switching back to regular tires?) - Page 3 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Couldn't take it any longer and switched to my all seasons earlier this week.

lookin good pal

Just placed an order today for a new set of rims and tires through JRP. I will probably make the switch once those come in but again it's probably depends on how consistent the weather is.

Long term forecast in the GTA isn't so great, I'd keep the snows on for a while still.

That's why I decided to go with all seasons. These Continental DWS handle cold, wet roads way better than my Hankook RC01 winters did and they'll be fine as long as we don't get more than a cm or 2 of snow. Considering the state of my winters when I took them off, these might actually be better in light snow anyways.

Got the car on the lifters last week to change all the fluids and surprisingly very minimal surface rust if any at all (I did drive it a lot this winter when it was dry out).

Not sure if I'll ever get snow tires for this car to drive in the snow if I don't have to. Been itching to try something like Dunlop Winter Sport 3D or Michelin Pilot Alpin for quite sometime.

Yeah I checked closely under my car while I was changing the tires and was mostly impressed. There is no body rust despite being daily driven all winter but that said, suspension arms and hubs are completely covered in rust now.

Oh yea that's a given for any car with the suspension arms usually. I've seen a lot of rust underneath Subarus at the not so usual spots whenever I see one on the lift at a shop. I think the key here is to wash your car regularly.

You guys will be glad to have kept the snow tires on for the next week lol!

Uh oh I have my summers on with bbk so I can't go back to winter tires but gotta drive tonight. Going to be fun!

i drove on Eagle F1 AS2 in the ice this morning it wasn't too bad.. light throttle

jumped the gun though definitely

will it prematurely wear my tires?

Canehda · 03-24-2016, 04:57 PM

The bolts for my daily wheels were taking forever to deliver but finally came in last night... almost like the force was keeping me from installing them to early... tried my track wheels (265 Hankook RS3...) the last couple weeks and it was still too cold to trust them on the road, so I threw winters back on... so for all the guys with the 200tw track tires i would hold off another couple weeks... I think I will give my PSS a try next week though since they seem to be decent in low but positive temperatures

The struggle is real. I had the car parked all this past week. Saturday was passable for driving with the summer tires, Sunday was great for it. Too bad nothing was open Sunday. Was looking for an excuse to go somewhere
