Question for you guys generally when do you throw on the winter tires. I just purchased new winter tires for the first time and now I do not know when would be the best time for the install should i wait as long as possible b4 installation. I do live in Canada, or should I install sooner then later?

What do you guys do?

Yeah! Handbrake dancing simply rules!

One day (winter) last year I drove my girlfriend home, and it was snowing heavily...so by the time I got to her house and kissed godnight (needless to say it took a while), the snow was about 2 inches high on the roads everywhere...
Went to a bus depot near by, which has a pretty large parking (covered in snow, and literally untouched at the time) and started dancing around (with "The Blue Danube" waltz going on in the CD player).

Magnificent stuff!
Really!

But it couldn´t be done with summer time tires...too slippery and totally out of control.
