It will be a huge difference!Winter tire time. Michelin X-Ice Snows. First time I ever had a dedicated snow tire, looking forward to trying them out in some white stuff.

Honestly, winter time in the S550 is a blast. Provided you got good tires, which seems you do. I switched standard Bullitt staggered to square setup of Sottozero 3s and new rims and I like the look and performance.Winter tire time. Michelin X-Ice Snows.

OH is getting colder, think this or next weekend I'll put on the winter booties too...

I'm near Cleveland, two days after I changed I am driving to work at 40 degrees so it was perfect timing. I run my square stock wheels from the blackout package in the winter.
Have fun in the snow!

Right. Something that (despite being a gearhead and constantly researching vehicle-related stuff) I ran into a good sentence or a guideline, something along the lines of - doesn't matter temp gets up to 50-60F during the day, if you commute in 28-40F weather, that's when you need the tires and under 44F winters are recommended.
Here I am looking at weather and planning when it'll make sense to go with the winters and no longer hit 50s during the day, not realizing I've been driving in "winter" conditions on the morning and evening commutes for the past week, so this weekend booties are going onto the car.
All in all, I love to learn and anything that makes me a better & safer driver is great. This realization/guideline certainly did that.

so far I’m enjoying them. The ride is slightly better, the wet grip is fantastic. I’m still under 1000 miles so I’m still not punching it but spirited driving they haven’t let me down yet.

I love those rims, can you give me some information about them?, thank you.Started Saturday, finished Sunday moments before a 200 mile road trip… Today I’m enjoying the crap out of the new PP2 brakes. I finally feel like my car is exactly where I want it to be, and I can enjoy driving what I’ve put together until the wheels fall off…

Can't disagree with any of this except the best thing about U/A Grey is that the brake dust hardly shows. But then it really shows on the wheels anyway, so...

I know it looks tacky but you can't be too safe.
I've been opening my door a lot in the dark delivering those pizzas.

What car do you have under that cover?Put the OEM Ford car cover on for winter storage. We’ll be back out in 5 months or so.
