Chicago peeps, have you guys swapped your winters for your summers yet? I feel like we usually get a winter storm in April but it's been so mild this year

I pulled mine off March 11. If we have a winter storm I just won't drive.

I base my winter tire schedule on the Major League Baseball season - winters go on just after the World Series (early November) and come off just after opening day (early April). Even though the chance of snow is low it can still get down into the 30's, and you should not drive on summers with temps that low, even if roads are dry.

Mine's similar, based on daylight savings time. Early November, mid March.

I switched mine yesterday, that's why it's snowing today

mancona · 04-02-2016, 12:02 PM

The car is driven by my wife for commuting. I get to enjoy it during the weekends. It has WI tag for now

GlazierGlaze · 05-31-2016, 09:29 PM

I'm in Wicker Park. I'll be at Supercar Saturday this weekend in Barrington.

matmo · 06-14-2016, 11:05 AM

Hi all,

I just got my ymb f82 6mt last week and LOVING it. It's a lot more aggressive than I expected. It'll be garaged in the winter. I live in Libertyville fwiw. Looking forward to meeting up with everyone and being part of the M community.

ghost34 · 06-24-2016, 01:44 PM

anybody looking for some stock 19" pss (275/35/19, 4-5/32nds tread, 255/35/19 8/32nds). The fronts are solid, the rears have a few thousand left. I'm too lazy to sell them through traditional channels, if you want them, message me, I could meet someone in schuamburg. hoping to get 300 but I'm open to best offer after reviewing the tires. I'll break the set, I will the sell fronts without rears
