Just installed new ones today. I think it's a tad early, although the frost on the ground told me maybe it's a good idea. Ended up going with Michelin X-ICE3s.

What are you guys going on about?
(The x-ices went on 3 weeks ago for a trip down to Vancouver.)

Kinda hard to drive down a river isn't it?
The joke is that around Toronto there are still many trees that have green leaves because of our "Autumn summer". Temperatures have finally started to drop (and so have the leaves).

Got the Michelin X-ice 3’s for our Volt because of the recommendations on this forum. They are great tires. Once the Perelli winter tires that we got from Tesla are worn, will definitely get the Michelin’s for the Model S as well.

Can you even find steel rims? I couldn't find any that would fit over the brakes when I went searching. Let us know if you do!

I ordered mine from Tires23 in August.
Not putting them on until November 20. I went with Replika R187 on X-ice 3’s. I chose them because I have read they are very quiet. Hated my Blizzaks with a passion.

GoTire just came to my house and swapped my Slipstreams for Replika 187s. For $140.00 they mounted the Pirelli Sottozero (came w/ my car and are practically brand new so couldn't justify buying the Nokians) on the Replika 187s, balanced them and swapped them onto the car. Pretty good value considering I didn't have to leave my house.
Would definitely recommend.

Speaking of this, when I got into my car this evening, after it sat in -5 temps all day, I got a low pressure warning in one tire as the front right was at 2.6 bars. Is this typical when it gets cold, after all, if I remember correctly, pv=Nrt.
I will add some air, but Go tire is coming next week.

Yeah I also got a TPMS warning today. D'oh I check my race car every time I use it... daily driver, not so much.

Already?
He's talking Celsius. -5 C is cold but not nearly as cold as -5 in the goofy measurement system you guys use

Thanks
Thanks for clearing that up. That's still pretty cold, for this time of year, but big difference. We really need to go metric. What are we waiting for?He's talking Celsius. -5 C is cold but not nearly as cold as -5 in the goofy measurement system you guys use
Should I bother putting in some air? Go tire is coming on Wednesday to put on the Winters.
