Default who is scrambling to get snow tires installed today

So who waited until the last minute to put the snow tires on this year. I know I would be in the garage today installing if I still had the GS.

I just got mine installed two days ago lol. Got a great deal on used set of Blizzaks for $80 with 9/32 left. I just needed a set for the rear, front Blizzaks are still good. Now I won't fear snow driving as much.

Just got a set of Michelin Ice-X on my Accord 2 Days ago. Not a fan of Blizzaks, too much noise and not enough winter grip.
