Hoping to see if there are other active Vermonters! I'm in the general Burlington area and would love to see other members for a brz/frs hangout!

Burlington area has many fun roads to enjoy your car with. Wife and I had a blast up there for our anniversary a couple years ago when we still had the 86.

Buy winter tires if you haven't already.

Nice!
Even the WORST winter tire is better than the BEST all season. I've actually been putting off fresh ones because I can't decide if I want Xice3's, or the new arctics. Decisions decisions... (I live in rural western MA, which normally means grab the tires with the broader tread blocks, the arctics, but my FXT has arctics already so I could have the best of both worlds with the two tires.)

I'll be limping through this winter with my Conti WinterExtreme Contacts, though it'll be the last season using them. They were okay, but nothing fantastic. I got 4 seasons out of them though, so I can't complain.

If they are really that close to the expiration date, the compound has likely hardened and is close to being compromised. I'd personally get them on ASAP, get all you can out of them this year, (hoon them away, as it were,) and get fresh ones next year.

I swap my S-04's off once we're consistently below 40, and they are 300tw. My RE71R's come off once we're below 50, if they even hit freezing they are effectively ruined, and are basically just drifto tires.
