Oh no, they're calling for snow...

And I don't have my snow tires yet!

They're calling for 1 - 2 inches in Pittsburgh tomorrow night, hopefully they'll be wrong as usual.

I guess I'd better get my order into TireRack.

Anyone else in this predicament?

What are you running now? You should be fine on all-seasons if you're just getting intermittent snowfall and they plow the roads promptly. I typically didn't put snows in my 325i until after Thanksgiving here in Chicago.

I have the OEM Michelin Pilots. It looks like, as usual, the forecast has been revised. Accumulation in the mountains only.

Yeah, I actually wish it was like that here. Even mid-80's to 90's is too warm for this part of the year. In January, it'll only be down to mid 60's.
